First Nations partnerships

The Peramangk, Kaurna, and Ngarrindjeri Nations have cared for the lands and waters of the Hills and Fleurieu for countless generations. Their connection to Yerta/Ruwe (Country) is deep, it is part of their culture, identity and knowledge. It includes not just the land and water but also stories, teachings and law.

Today, First Nations people continue to care for Country, working to restore traditional land management and strengthen their role in shaping the region’s landscapes. Their knowledge and involvement are vital for a healthy future.

How we support First Nations

• Meaningfully involve Traditional Owners and First Nations people in natural resource planning, management, and on-ground projects, creating lasting two-way benefits.
• Build cultural competency and awareness in the community to support respectful and inclusive collaboration with Traditional Owners and First Nations communities.
• Encourage all land managers to recognise their role and responsibility in protecting First Nations cultural assets and history on their properties.
• Connect landholders with information and guidance to ensure the protection of Aboriginal cultural and heritage sites on their properties.
