No-one understands the needs of the vast
Australian continent like Aboriginal and
Torres Strait Islander people.
In acknowledging this ‘caretaker’ role; land management
as an avenue for economic independence; and property
ownership the cornerstone of wealth and stable livelihoods
– the need to free up the complex Native Title system is
essential!
The 3rd Annual Aligning Indigenous Land Management
with Economic Development Conference fleshes out
opportunities and barriers to land tenure acquisition and how
we can equip Traditional Owners to derive the benefits of
which they are entitled.
Offering expert perspectives on the status, opportunities and
constraints for economic development under the current land
tenure system, you will take away the latest strategies on
how to maximise land management practices for improved
Indigenous community outcomes.
Balancing environmental, social, cultural and development
considerations you will derive knowledge on how to better
navigate negotiation scenarios and commence commercial
activities utilising funding from a variety of sources.

HEALTHY COUNTRY, HEALTHY PEOPLE
A new carbon industry being developed on Indigenous owned lands
presents many challenges, pitfalls and potential benefits.
Can Aboriginal communities achieve their needs by working with a
range of interest groups?
Nowanup is a property in the agricultural south west, purchased
with philanthropic funds for its ecological value. For seven years it
has been an effective venue for a range of programs and activities
achieving significant outcomes for the Noongar community and for
cross cultural understanding.
Nowanup is at crossroads, able to move forward as an autonomous
Noongar led enterprise, if the right economic underpinning can be
found. Participants will examine this real world situation and share
lessons learned elsewhere.
We will explore:
• Whether improving cultural, social and ecological outcomes can be
an economic activity in its own right
• Fruitful partnerships built by finding who you can work with as you
build the program
• Adapting rapidly to changing circumstances and goals, without
relying on government
• The mix of funding streams that can secure land and provide
employment
• Whether we can sidestep the complexities and delays of
Native Title claims which hold back economic and community
development
About your workshop leaders:
Eugene Eades
Community Leader
Gondwana Link
Eugene Eades has travelled the long road from middle weight boxer
to community leader. He has been central to the Nowanup program
since its early days in 2004.
‘Every year Eugene has hosted visits and forums with over 2,000
community members’, from victims of the stolen generation to
corporate leaders, in activities that heal the chasms in our society.
Keith Bradby
Founding Director
Gondwana Link
Keith Bradby is Founding Director of Gondwana Link, an ecological
program focused on achieving healthy country across 1000kms of
Australia’s south west. Keith started as a community based activist
and has since held a number of senior roles in Government and the
private sector. He co-wrote and narrated the SBS documentary ‘A
Million Acres a Year’.
The Carbon Farming Initiative (CFI) allows exclusive and
non-exclusive Native Title holders to participate in carbon farming.
However, producing carbon credits and establishing a credible
system of Indigenous co-benefits requires not only land and people,
but investment from corporate and mainstream Australia.
This workshop is designed to provide an overview of the new carbon
farming industry and give a realistic understanding of how Traditional
Owners can become involved with minimum risk to themselves and
investors.
We will explore:
• Welcome and introductions
• Carbon Farming Initiative (CFI): A new industry
• Carbon sequestration, abatement and co-benefits – what are they?
• Who, how and why invest in Indigenous carbon markets
• How do Traditional Owners engage in carbon farming?
• What employment, cultural and economic benefits can be achieved
• Summary
About your workshop leader:
Rowan Foley
General Manager

Rowan Foley comes from the Wondunna clan of the Badtjala people,
Traditional Owners of Fraser Island and Hervey Bay in Queensland.
Rowan is the General Manager of the Aboriginal Carbon Fund

use of their country.
