Submission on the Department of Water and Environmental Regulation (WA) Consultation draft – Fitzroy-Derby water resources management plan: policy and guidance.

The NNTC provides this submission in support of, and complementary to, the submission made by the Kimberley Land Council (KLC). We also provide comment that it is essential that the Management Plan adopt approaches that include Traditional Owner governance and decision-making at all stages of licensing and regulation, and recognise that only the Traditional Owners of cultural heritage can make decisions for that heritage through their representative entities.
