Many things can be said about the "Wild West" aka the state of Western Australia but I provide a small insight into the attempts to increase Aboriginal participation in Water Resource Management as part of the Nyoongar Nation. The need to assist Departmental staff to comply with Native Title and Aboriginal Heritage legislation with their on-ground works. The cultural obligations of the Traditional Owners to their responsibilities for their inherent right as the owners of the water resources upon their lands by developing new engagement frameworks and pathways. This talk will identify opportunities and strategies to assist the Aboriginal community to manage the water resources upon their lands BUT can it happen?.
