Understanding ALRA - Part 2

We share our waters with Aboriginal communities, who under ALRA can permit access to fishing grounds. Without mutual understanding, trust, and support, our industry doesn’t have a bright future. The future of our industry relies on improving cross-cultural understanding and respect.
Many in the industry are unaware or confused by the current legislation, and don’t understand it. This lack of understanding impacts on our ability to build trust, as well as certainty over our own practices.
The Cultural Education and Representation Project creates a starting point for us to build understanding for more certainty and better partnerships through educational materials and training.
The aim of the process is to improve understanding amongst our industry which can aid long-term trusting relationships with all Land Councils and Traditional Owners and create opportunities for Aboriginal peoples and regional economic development.
