  • South-West Australia
    REGIONAL INDIGENOUS LAND STRATEGY (rils) South-WEST AUSTRALIA Message from the ILC Chairperson Welcome to the Regional Indigenous Land Strategy (RILS) for the South-West Australia region—the first time the ILC has, through the RILS, recognised the particular environmental, social and economic features of this vast region. This RILS represents an additional, more focused layer to the ILC Group’s strategic direction as laid out in the National Indigenous Land Strategy (NILS) for the period 2018 to 2022. These are the first national and regional land strategies that I and the current ILC Board have had the honour of presenting to you, our stakeholders and partners in growing the Indigenous Estate. As you will see throughout the strategies, the ILC is focused on becoming a trusted partner in developing the Indigenous Estate to achieve economic, environmental, social and cultural benefits for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people. The ILC Board, staff and subsidiary companies are determined to apply the resources available to us to help transform Indigenous-held land and waters and our unique cultural assets into a source of prosperity for this and future generations. Central to our strategies has been identifying the best ways to invest and partner with you, to make our collective resources go further. On behalf of the ILC Board, I thank those who participated in consultation sessions on these important documents. Your views have informed our way forward. Please take the time to read through this regional strategy and the national strategy it THE IndIgenOUS ESTATE accompanies. Also check the ILC website and follow us on social media.
