New consultation protocols released
Read the media release. Aboriginal cultural information will form a key part of natural resources management under a major new guide funded by the State Government’s Adelaide and Mount Lofty Ranges Natural Resources Management (AMLR NRM) Board.
A series of protocols is outlined in the Australia-first guide, which has been released following extensive planning, consultation and research in a collaborative partnership between the Kaurna, Ngadjuri, Ngarrindjeri and Peramangk Nations, and project managers Rural Solutions SA.
All the necessary information on the four Nations is now available in one concise and endorsed publication. It defines the process from an Aboriginal perspective on how to engage Aboriginal people to achieve outcomes on managing natural resources relative to their country.
The 154-page colour guide – Four Nations NRM Governance Group Consultation and Engagement Protocols – covers the Adelaide and Mount Lofty Ranges Natural Resources Management Region which stretches from Gawler in the north to Cape Jervis in the south.
The protocols detailed in the guide identify appropriate cultural information for natural resources management practitioners and people who have an interest in learning more about Aboriginal culture in the region.
