The Taungurung Land and Waters Council’s Renewable Energy Policy has been developed to support Taungurung and TLaWC, as custodians of Taungurung Biik (Country), to lead and facilitate benefit-sharing arising from energy initiatives on our Country. The policy can be viewed by clicking on the image.
Fighting for the Rubicon River
The Taungurung Land and Waters Council (TLaWC) has successfully challenged a licence that would have permitted the Rubicon River to be dammed and diverted.
This river is of deep cultural significance to Taungurung people, history, Ancestors and the inherent obligation to care for Taungurung Country.
But this may not be the end of the matter. It remains open to the decision-maker to reconsider the matter and issue new licences.
Please see the full media release here.
TLaWC is seeking financial support in protecting this beautiful location and the life of the flora and fauna that inhabit this area, commencing a fundraising campaign to cover travel costs, filing fees, and expert costs. Donations can be made via www.taungurung.com.au/donation
