Ngarrariyal

Cultivating Growth, Empowering Communities

Ngarrariyal, oversees the sustainable development and management of land leases in the Gunyangara community. Founded on principles of self-determination and community empowerment, Ngarrariyal plays a crucial role in shaping the future of North East Arnhem Land by facilitating responsible land use that respects both cultural heritage and economic aspirations.

This gives the traditional land owners the ability to make decisions on what happens on their own land, a right that has previously been taken from them.
