Work in partnership

“Listen to the land, respect it, walk softly on it and it’ll relate. If you listen to the land, you’ll hear things.”  Uncle Johnny Lovett

Glenelg Hopkins Catchment Management Authority proudly acknowledges the Traditional Owners of Victoria and their rich cultural diversity and intrinsic connection to country. We pay our respects to Elders past, present and future. We also recognise and acknowledge the contribution, interest and rights that Traditional Owners and Aboriginal communities have in land and water management. We value our partnerships with them, for the health of people and Country.

How we work together

The CMA has been working with Traditional Owners and Aboriginal organisations for the past fifteen years. Our partnerships have helped achieved regional NRM priorities and fulfill broader aspirations that Traditional Owners and Aboriginal communities have for managing their land and sea country. By incorporating Aboriginal knowledge, cultural values and perspectives into natural resource management, we will continue working towards a more sustainable and resilient future for the health of people and Country.
