The Land Council received funding from the Envirofund& the Northern Rivers Catchment Management Authority for wages and costs associated with our bush regeneration traineeships. The trainees are under the supervision of Lisa White (a qualified bush regenerator). Our bush regeneration team “Darrunda Wajaarr” carry out works from Corindi Beach to Urunga. We have contracts with Coffs Harbour City Council, National Parks and Wildlife, and the Catchment Management Authority to name a few.
We currently have 3 trainees and they are all undertaking Certificate ii or Certificate iii in Conservation Land Management. Recent training includes a Bush Fire Awareness course that could lead to employment with the NPWS or the Rural Fire Service in the longer term as this is a pre-requisite for employment with those authorities. There will be future opportunities for this team to complete works on Land Council owned vacant land as well as on Wongala Estate.The people from the Gumbaynggirr Nation are caring for their country and sharing traditional land management knowledge through a range of innovative projects.
Gumbaynggirr lands stretch from the Clarence River down to the Nambucca River on the mid-north coast of New South Wales. It is on this traditional land that they are undertaking natural resource management.
