More information: www.dpie.nsw.gov.au/border-rivers-regional-water-strategy Acknowledgements: The input and collaboration of these NSW Government agencies is acknowledged: WaterNSW, NSW Health, Offce of Local Government, and Aboriginal Affairs NSW. The feedback of these groups on the Aboriginal Water Coalition is also acknowledged: NSW Aboriginal Land Council, NTSCORP, Murray Lower Darling Rivers Indigenous Nations and Northern Basin Aboriginal Nations. The NSW Government acknowledges Aboriginal people as Australia’s frst people practicing the oldest living culture on earth and as the Traditional Owners and Custodians of the lands and waters. We acknowledge that the people of the Bigambul, Githabul, Kambuwal, Gomeroi/Kamilaroi/Gamilaroi/ Gamilaraay, Kwiambul and Ngarabal Nations hold a signifcant connection to the lands in which the Border Rivers Regional Water Strategy falls upon. Please note, throughout this document we will refer to Gomeroi/ Kamilaroi/Gamilaroi/Gamilaraay as Gomeroi Nation as per consistency with Native Title. The Border Rivers Region holds areas of great spiritual, cultural and economic importance to Aboriginal people and the NSW Government recognises the connection of the water to the people of these nations. We recognise the intrinsic connection of Traditional Owners to Country and acknowledge their contribution to the management of the Border Rivers Regional Water Strategy area landscape and natural resources. Department of Planning, Industry and Environment understands the need for consultation and inclusion of Traditional Owner knowledge, values and uses in water quality planning to ensure we are working towards equality in objectives and outcomes. Department of Planning, Industry and Environment is committed to continue future relationships and building strong partnerships with Aboriginal people. Due to COVID-19, face-to-face engagement with Aboriginal communities has been put on hold. We are committed to engaging with the Elders, representatives of the Bigambul, Githabul, Kambuwal, Gomeroi, Kwiambul and Ngarabal Nations and Aboriginal community members about the regional water strategy in late 2020. © State of New South Wales through Department of Planning, Industry and Environment 2020.
