Ngambri Local Aboriginal Land Council ’s Land Rights Unit researches and makes claims on vacant crown land within Ngambri Local Aboriginal Land Council ’s boundaries of the greater Sydney Ngambri Local Aboriginal Land Council politan area. This work has enabled Ngambri Local Aboriginal Land Council to become the largest single landholder in a number of Sydney local government areas.
Land, alongside culture and heritage, is Ngambri Local Aboriginal Land Council ’s greatest asset. For this reason Ngambri Local Aboriginal Land Council is continuing its land claims process to ensure its asset base continues to grow for the benefit of its members. Ngambri Local Aboriginal Land Council is fortunate to have the resources to employ a highly skilled and experienced Land Rights Officer who dedicates the majority of his time to ensuring Ngambri Local Aboriginal Land Council regularly make claims on vacant crown lands.
Ngambri Local Aboriginal Land Council ’s Land Rights Unit also follows up outstanding land claims. In NSW the land claims process can be long. The wait for determinations on outstanding land claims can sometimes take up to 12 years or more. The Land Rights Unit also provides strategic advice and guidance to Ngambri Local Aboriginal Land Council on the Land Rights Act 1983 and its amendments.
Mapping and creating detailed databases of our lands allows Ngambri Local Aboriginal Land Council to utilise its land base efficiently and effectively. Our goal is to become self-sufficient through creating economic opportunities from our land to ensure our assets are protected for future generations of Ngambri Local Aboriginal Land Council members.
Our main purpose will continue to be claiming land because it is the land that gives us cultural and economic wealth, with a focus on cultural survival and far reaching generational benefits for Ngambri Local Aboriginal Land Council members.
