Land Councils

Land Councils are representative organizations that advocate for Indigenous Australians’ land rights and interests. They work to protect native title, manage land and water resources, and support community development. Operating at local, regional, or national levels, these councils act as a bridge between Indigenous communities and government agencies, ensuring Indigenous voices are heard in decisions affecting their lands. They also promote cultural preservation and sustainable land use, helping Indigenous Australians have a say in how their traditional lands are cared for and developed.
