Promoting heritage Worimi Local Aboriginal Land Council receives $200,000 grant • MELISSAH COMBER
he Worimi Local Aboriginal Land Council has received $200,000 from the Federal Government's Indigenous Heritage Programme. Minister for Indigenous Affairs, Senator Nigel Scullion and Member for Paterson, Bob Baldwin made the announcement at the Council's Williamtown base before visiting the Mindaribba Local Aboriginal Land Council at Metford last week. The funding will enable the Council to protect and promote Worimi heritage along the Stockton Bight, which Mr Baldwin said will additionally create jobs. "There are a multitude of winners - the Land Council win, the local people win, the tourism industry wins and the environment wins," he said. Mr Scullion said that it was the largest grant that had been awarded in this round of funding. "It is a lot money but it's a great investment," he said. While at Mindaribba, Mr Baldwin and Mr Scullion spoke to the Land Council about their issues related to education, native title and their land. "It's not for us to tell them what our vision for them is," Mr Baldwin said. "We need to support their vision." This financial year, the Federal Government has invested $1.6 million in the Indigenous Heritage Programme for 18 projects across Australia to strengthen the connection between Indigenous communities and their heritage values.
