New South Wales Government proudly acknowledges the Aboriginal community of NSW and their rich and diverse culture and pays respect to their Elders past, present and future. The NSW Government acknowledges Aboriginal people as Australia’s First Peoples practising the oldest living culture on earth and as the Traditional Owners and Custodians of the lands and waters.

    Chapter 8. Aboriginal water values and uses Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning 8. Aboriginal water values and uses The Murray-Darling Basin Plan requires Basin states to identify objectives and outcomes of water, based on Aboriginal values and uses of water, and have regard to the views of Traditional Owners on matters identified by the Basin Plan. Victoria engaged with Traditional Owner groups in the Water Resource Plan for the northern Victoria area to: • outline the purpose, scope and opportunity for providing water to meet Traditional Owner water objectives and outcomes through the Murray-Darling Basin Plan • define the role of the water resource plans in the Basin, including but not limited to the requirements of the Basin Plan (Chapter 10, Part 14) • provide the timeline for the development and accreditation of the Northern Victoria Water Resource Plan • determine each Traditional Owner group’s preferred means of engagement and involvement in the development of the Northern Victoria Water Resource Plan • continue to liaise and collaborate with Traditional Owner groups to integrate specific concerns and opportunities regarding the water planning and management framework. • identify Aboriginal water objectives for each Traditional Owner group, and desired outcomes The Water Resource Plan for the Northern Victoria water resource plan area, the Victorian Murray water resource plan area and the Goulburn-Murray water resource plan area is formally titled Victoria’s North and Murray Water Resource Plan for the purposes of accreditation. When engaging with Traditional Owners this plan has been referred to as the Northern Victoria Water Resource Plan and is so called in Chapter 8 of the Comprehensive Report.

The result will be an exciting and very important publication. So, look out for Native Title in the New Millennium. Hot on the heels of the proceedings we are working on the next NTRB Legal Conference which will be a celebration of the 20 year Anniversary of the Townsville conference that initiated the Mabo litigation. The conference will be held in Townsville on the 28-30 August 2001. We will keep you posted on developments with the organisation of the event.

Alought the percentage may seem small as an average (Approx. 17% per annum) large flows have at times contributed markedly in times when the Lower Murray River had periods of low or no flow. This was especially evident during the Millennium Drought when a large flow was shepherded through to the Lower Lakes and Coorong thereby averting what would have been a natural disaster and the possibility of Adelaide running out of water.

Pulleine's claim (op. cit. 80) that he recorded all of the motifs at Mootwingee is far from being the case. These papers indicated that Mootwingee was an important comparative site on the eastern extremity of the full intaglio pecking technique, and a complete recording was therefore decided upon.

    YURANGA ABORIGINAL NETWORK MILDURA LOCAL ABORIGINAL NETWORK COMMUNITY PLAN 2020 OFFICIAL ACKNOWLEDGEMENT AND RESPECT TELKI NGAWINGI (Latji Latji for Good Day) We would like to take this opportunity to acknowledge the traditional owners of this Country and the Elders who have passed into the Dreaming and Elders present today who have survived the impacts of Colonisation. Our Elders are the Cornerstone of our communities and we pay our Respect to them, their journeys, their strength and their Resilience. If it were not for them, we would not be here. OFFICIAL The Yuranga Local Aboriginal Network in Mildura was established in 2008, as part of the then Victorian Government’s New Representative Arrangement for Aboriginal People living in Victoria. The LAN’s original Community Plan was Titled: “The Mildura Local Indigenous Network – The Yuranga Aboriginal Committee, Community Plan.” It’s overarching framework was the VIAF of the time. Local Aboriginal Networks (LANs) bring Aboriginal people together to set priorities develop community plans and improve social connection. Our Mildura LAN has an Aboriginal name, which means “bend in the river.” The LAN in Mildura has been active within the Mildura community and over the years has held a number of Projects and supported others, however we have worked with the local Mildura Rural City Council and have produced a video that sits on the AV Website. MRCC have endorsed our Community Plan and it also sits on their Website along with all of the Geographical Community Plans, as the Municipality’s first Cultural Plan. Our LAN now has approximately 212 participants and there are 39 LANs in the State of Victoria.
