NLC (Northern Land Council)

The Northern Land Council (NLC) is an Indigenous organization in Australia that represents Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people in the Northern Territory. Its main role is to help these communities manage their traditional lands and participate in decision-making about land use, development, and conservation. The NLC works to protect Indigenous rights, cultural heritage, and connection to the land, ensuring their voices are heard in government and industry matters. It collaborates with Indigenous communities, government agencies, and organizations to support Indigenous interests and promote sustainable, culturally respectful development.
