Ground-breaking pilot project launched to drive economic development in remote Aboriginal communities
News / Event start date
The McGowan Government has today launched an innovative economic development pilot project to reform land tenure in remote communities to improve economic, health and social outcomes for Aboriginal people. The Land Activation Project is a place-based pilot project incorporating land tenure reform to set the stage for improved economic development outcomes, community governance, upgrade of essential services and to provide additional housing. Bidyadanga, Western Australia’s largest remote community, has been selected as the pilot site and the McGowan Government has committed $7.3 million towards the project.
The PBC website acknowledges the traditional owners of country throughout Australia and their continuing
connection to land, culture and community.
We pay our respects to elders past, present and emerging.
