Taungurung Natural Resource Agreement
On 26 October 2018, the State of Victoria and the Taungurung People entered into a Natural Resource Agreement (NRA) under Division 2, Part 6 of the Traditional Owner Settlement Act 2010 (Vic).
The NRA provides for members of the Taungurung Traditional Owner Group to carry out agreed activities, including to take, use and manage natural resources on public land, consistent with sustainability principles. For the purposes of the NRA, natural resources means the land and in relation to the land, its vegetation (flora and forest produce), animals (fauna and fish), water, stone, gravels, earth, soil and similar materials (but not gold, silver, metal or minerals).
The NRA also commits the State and the Taungurung to work together in partnership to develop strategies for Traditional Owners’ participation and employment in natural resource management in the NRA area.
Schedule 6 of the NRA comprises a Procurement Strategy for Natural Resource Management (NRM) to promote Taungurung access to NRM procurement opportunities in their own Country, the NRA area.
