To foster positive relationships and collaborative partnerships with the alpine Country’s Traditional Owner Groups, ARV developed a Traditional Owner Engagement and Self-determination Strategy. This Strategy provides a five-year framework to guide how ARV works with Traditional Owners to support their rights and aspirations.
Developed with both Registered Aboriginal Parties and other Traditional Owner groups in a self-determined way, the Strategy focuses on governance and accountability, culture and Country, along with economic opportunities. Key actions include:
- developing partnership agreements
- supporting cultural mapping
- incorporating Traditional Owner knowledge into land management
- building cultural capability across the workforce
- identifying employment
- procurement and tourism opportunities.
Implementation will occur through ARV’s annual planning and reporting processes, with a formal review scheduled for 2030.
