Governance of water: an agreement model for customary law Governance

Aboriginal Law and culture in remote Australia remains active and strong. In this project, Professor Donna Craig and the Anmatyerr Water Team demonstrate a process for local active parties to take on management of places significant to them that improves cultural and natural heritage values and indigenous futures.

There exist many places of significance to Aboriginal people that are not covered by formal management processes. In the NT this includes but is not limited to small reserves not listed on the schedule for formal joint management. Professor Craig and her team prepared a draft agreement that demonstrated the principles outlined in her findings.
