The Esperance Tjaltjraak Native Title Aboriginal Corporation RNTBC was registered by the Federal Court of Australia as the Native Title Body Corporate for the kepa Kurl Wadjari people on 6 September 2016.
Tjaltjraak derives from the Wudjari name for the Mallee, which the Wudjari People believe marks the extent of their Country.
Kerpa Kurl Wudjari people descent from seven apical ancestors. Today six family groups are recognised as the direct descendants of those ancestors and the elders of those families have the rights and responsibilities for the practice of Wudjari Nyungar culture and for passing it on to future generations.
The corporation is a forward-thinking, community based, outcome-led visionary organisation. They offer an array of services to deliver long term cultural, social and economic wellbeing to not only participants but also their immediate families and their local communities. These activities include, but are not limited to:
- Cultural heritage
- Healthy Country Plan and Rangers
- Land Enterprises
- Cultural Awareness and Inclusivity

Animals, plants, fungi, and bacteria leave DNA as they move through the environment. By analysing the DNA found in water, soil, or other natural places, scientists can work out which species have been in a particular habitat. The technique could soon be added to the conservation toolkit of Esperance rangers.
Across Western Australia, Indigenous fire management practices and cultural burning principles are becoming more widely recognised and included in fire management regimes. In the state’s southeast, the Esperance Tjaltjraak Native Title Aboriginal Corporation is working with stakeholders to bring cultural burning principles to the forefront of bushfire management.
The Esperance Tjaltjraak Native Title Aboriginal Corporation will use its $136,500 to up-skill Aboriginal people in the sustainable harvest of native flora and regenerative agriculture including seed collection and propagation, training and mentoring, and business development.
Council have considered the feedback from the public consultation for the design of the new replacement jetty, moving a motion by the Jetty Replacement Working Group to submit recommendations to H+H Architects.
As a result of the feedback, the group requested H+H develop a strategy to interpret the jetty’s former length, move the dive platform to the end of the structure and work with the Esperance Tjaltjraak Native Title Aboriginal Corporation to recognise the indigenous cultural heritage.
On Friday the Federal Court formally acknowledged the Esperance Nyungar peoples' native title claim over a 29,000 square kilometre area in the southern Goldfields.
The positive determination will result in the Esperance Nyungar community receiving an annual income stream based on 25 per cent of the annual rental for exploration tenements, a direct funding package of $2.55 million over five years and a land package with an estimated value of approximately $24 million.
