PURPOSE OF THE COMMUNITY INFORMATION SESSIONS
Commencing early April, the South West Aboriginal Land and Sea Council Aboriginal Corporation (SWALSC) will convene sixteen community information sessions throughout the south west to provide information on the implementation of the Noongar settlement agreement. These are not decision-making meetings, they are informational only.
These sessions will cover the agreement and transition process. Multiple meetings will be held for each of the six Noongar agreement group areas and you only need to attend one of the meetings.
WHO SHOULD ATTEND?
The community information sessions are open to all Noongar people, including those who are not members of SWALSC. You must only attend the community information sessions for the agreement group areas that you identify with.
Meeting dates
Each Noongar agreement group area will have multiple sessions in a few different places. There will be multiple sessions for each agreement group, but the content presented will be the same at each so you only need to attend one.
All meetings are from 10am till 4pm.
