Social and community activities

ILC assistance through the Land Acquisition and Land Management Programmes have an impact at the individual and community levels.

Through the Land Acquisition Programme:

• The acquisition of rural land in TAS for the establishment of Trawmanna provided a safe cultural setting for the Indigenous community to access various Indigenous services and training, particularly for those community members who want to find their ancestral roots. 280 people attended men’s shed activities twice a week, an art therapy and healing workshop once a week, a youth-at-risk programme, frequent sports and recreation activities, and holiday youth camps.

• 4,349 people participated in events held through the Rumbalara Elders facility in VIC, a culturally appropriate aged care facility, including a men’s programme, home and community care programmes and various social gatherings 
and meetings.

• 200 people were involved in events at the Roeland Mission in WA. Participants took part in the Halo Day Programme involving young men in a cultural journey to increase their understanding of cultural and community leadership responsibilities and to recognise their role in Noongar culture.

• 13 events were held at Mossman Gorge including NADOIC week celebrations, employee awards, the Port Douglas Business awards, tourism events, Mossman High School expo and a men’s group.

• 12 cultural revival and training camps, involving 160 people were held to increase awareness of significant cultural art and artefact sites on the property on Mawonga in NSW,

• 250 people were involved in cultural camps and

ILC-assisted projects helped to improve Indigenous people’s access to social services. Approximately 54,000 interactions occurred with Indigenous people accessing social services offered by the Goondir Health Service in QLD, such as social and emotional wellbeing counselling, link-up counselling, substance misuse programme, smoking cessation programme, a psychological referral service, transport services to access local Aboriginal health and specialist services, a women’s group and chronic disease and preventative health care. Social services provided by the Larrakia Nation Aboriginal Corporation provided the local community with a transport service, night patrol, information and referral service, arts projects, a cultural knowledge unit, healing centre and a ranger programme.

In total, 261 social and community events were facilitated through the Land Management Programme, particularly in training-to-employment initiatives on the ILC’s agricultural and tourism businesses. The Ayers Rock Resort training and employment programme held eight major events involving the local community: NADOIC Week celebrations, a short film and outback festival, the visit by the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, Ninja Circus, remote softball championships and Anzac Day celebrations.

ILC assistance to the Kimberly Land Council to implement its Kimberly Ranger Programme enabled the ranger groups to hold 177 events with over 1,000 people participating in school and community fire awareness and management presentations, school fauna surveys, community fencing projects, yard cleanups for the elderly, men’s outreach activities, tree planting with police against domestic violence, wetlands management planning with local land care group Nyikina Mangala, and the hosting of the Dhimurru Rangers from Arnhem Land.

The Springfield Creche and Family Centre in QLD, supported by the ILC through construction, fitout and landscaping, enabled six community Elders circle events involving community members, school children and Elders sharing and transferring cultural knowledge.

The edible gardens horticulture training project in WA involved 500 people, a sports carnival, school culture day and a community cook up and planting day at Looma. The Goolarri Centre of Excellence in Broome involved over 3000 people in the taste of Broome tourism event, NADOIC festival activities and a professional development programme to showcase events for young Indigenous women.
