Department of Climate Change, Energy, the Environment and Water / Increasing Aboriginal environmental management in the Riverina Murray: a feasibility study - Tender_1352

A feasibility study for a program to build capacity and business opportunities for Aboriginal communities in environmental management across the Riverina / Murray Region. The program goal is to enable more Aboriginal people to work and practice culture for longer time on country.

This feasibility study will

• Research existing Aboriginal environmental management programs that demonstrate environmental, social, cultural and economic benefits to Aboriginal communities; 
• Explore business models for a regional partnership agreement providing support to Aboriginal environmental management teams and develop training, marketing, governance and financial requirements for each model; and
• Identify and engage partners, stakeholders and clients to align to program needs.

A regional approach will

• Increase opportunities for Aboriginal communities to be trained and employed to work on and manage country through a regional partnership agreement between government, land managers, training providers and Aboriginal environmental management teams;
• Demonstrate a measure of improvement in the health of the environment and combating climate change through application of traditional knowledge and practice;
• Build capacity of Aboriginal communities to establish sustainable & viable businesses in environmental management and cultural practice;
• Undertake market research to identify new potential services and clients; and
• Create opportunities for Aboriginal communities to develop resilience by participating & preparing for climate change.
