Community Projects News
Community Projects is providing Aboriginal groups across the NLC’s seven regions with tools to develop and manage their community focused projects.
Aboriginal groups have led the delivery of 51 projects, with an additional 25 under implementation and 19 undergoing feasibility studies.
Approved by Full Council in 2016, the program has grown from five to 23 groups, with hundreds of Traditional Owner groups hungry to learn skills in project and financial management. Projects focus on what’s important to community: building stronger culture, creating a proud community, growing enterprise and supporting young people.
A matched funding program was introduced in May 2023, widening the scope for community opportunities.
Groups with little to no land use income, who want to do good things for their community can now apply for funding to undertake small projects.
It’s an exciting time for Aboriginal groups across the top end as they steer towards self-determination.
