There are six indigenous groups located within the South West
NRM region: Kooma, Bidjara, Kunja, Mardigan, Budjiti, and
Kullilli.
With the assistance of South West NRM Ltd, the Far South West
Aboriginal NRM Group (FSWANRMG) was formed in 2004, as the
Traditional Owner advisory group for natural resource management in
the south west region.
Two representatives from each local Indigenous group make up
FSWANRMG; representatives are Native Title claimants or community
members nominated by claimants to represent their group.
The role of the group
The group is heavily involved in providing advice and assistance
to all community members who wish to progress on-ground projects
that achieve environmental outcomes while enhancing culturally
significant values.
The group generally meets four times a year and participation at
these meetings has been very strong.
