Aboriginal Community Advisory Group Seeking Local Leaders

BY PATRICK ALDERTON 

Hunter Local Land Services has issued a callout to Aboriginal people actively involved in their local community. 

The callout is seeking people with a passion in cultural land management and cultural awareness to join the Aboriginal Community Advisory Group (ACAG), which was formed in 2014. 

The group, meeting twice a year, aims to connect its members with Hunter Local Land Services Board members to contribute to solving key issues in the community. The ACAG is looking for members for the next two years to assist with issues including National Resource Management, Sustainable Agriculture, Biosecurity and Emergency Management. 

Community Engagement Team Leader Eva Tarkowski says that the Hunter Local Land Services is looking for motivated and passionate individuals who have an active involvement in local Aboriginal communities in the Hunter region. 

"We're looking for experience in community consultation, as well as a good understanding of current and future issues."  said Mrs Tarkowski

Potential applicants are encouraged to register their interest on the Hunter Local Land Services website.
