TLaWC’s CULTURAL LAND MANAGEMENT STRATEGY

It is time to heal Country. The Cultural Land Management (CLM) Strategy outlines four key themes and six principles to be used to guide the work TLaWC does and enable the CLM Division to set objectives for knowledge healing and practice development, to activate Taungurung rights and interests. Guided by the CLM Strategy, we will work collaboratively with the State to achieve the structural, policy and legislative reforms required to enable Taungurung people to be leaders in healing and caring of Country – now and into the future.
