Cultural Advice Committee

Each regional corporation will have a cultural advice committee (CAC) made up of Elders who consider matters relevant to culture, and make decisions to promote and protect our cultural interests.

Matters that may be decided by the committee may include:

• Determining what cultural connection exists, or could exist, to support a piece of land being considered ‘Cultural Lands’ as part of the Noongar Boodja Trust.

• Determining those people who have most knowledge of relevant lands in order for surveys to be properly conducted.

• Determining how cultural knowledge should be recorded, and when and how it is shared with others.

• Determining how Noongar cultural protocols and practices should be acknowledged, valued, honoured and respected, including through welcome to country practices.

Ballots to elect members of the cultural advice committee for your regional corporation will be held at the first general meetings, which will be held in June and July.
