NSWALC Strategic Plan
NSWALC Strategic Plan Supplement 2023-2026
The New South Wales Aboriginal Land Council (NSWALC) is pleased to make the NSWALC Strategic Plan Supplement 2023-2026 (the Supplement) available to the Land Rights Network.
NSWALC would like to thank Local Aboriginal Land Councils and Aboriginal Owners for providing their input and feedback into the development of the Supplement.
The Supplement has been approved by the NSWALC Council.
NSWALC Strategic Plan 2022-2026
NSWALC’s Strategic Plan 2022-2026 sets out our agenda to secure a better future for Aboriginal peoples in NSW and to maximise the social, cultural, economic and political potential of our land and people. NSWALC’s goals over the five years of the Plan are to:
- Secure Our Land and Water Rights
- Protect and Promote Our Culture and Heritage
- Pursue Economic Independence and Prosperity for Our People
- Support Our People and Local Aboriginal Land Councils
- Secure Our Future
NSW Aboriginal Land Council’s Strategic Plan 2022-2026 (the Plan) sets the direction for the next four years and prioritises our efforts towards securing a better future for Aboriginal people in NSW and maximising the social, cultural, economic and political potential of our land and people.
The Strategic Plan Supplement 2023-2026 complements the Strategic Plan over three years rather than annually, as with previous Supplements. This timeframe provides a greater ability to strategise and plan ahead, more efficient use of resources across a three-year period and greater visibility for the NSWALC Council.
Created by the elected NSWALC Council in consultation with the Land Rights Network, Aboriginal Owners and community members, the Plan and the Supplement serve as our Community, Land and Business Plan in accordance with the Aboriginal Land Rights Act 1983 NSW (ALRA).
Our vision for Aboriginal Land Rights continues to build on NSWALC’s aims when it was established in 1977 – land acquisition and activation, building on the strengths of our communities, protecting and promoting our Culture and Heritage, and securing our future.
How NSWALC's Strategic Planning Works
The Strategic Plan and Strategic Plan Supplement serve as NSWALC’s Community, Land and Business Plan in accordance with section 137A of the Aboriginal Land Rights Act 1983 NSW (ALRA).
This approach integrates NSWALC’s budget and planning, and structures reporting to Council and the Network around the Strategic Plan.
The Strategic Plan Supplement 2023-2026 will complement the Strategic Plan over three years rather than annually, as with previous Supplements.
The benefits of an extended Supplement life include:
- More efficient use of resources over a three-year period
- Minimising consultation fatigue for the Network and Aboriginal Owners
- Greater visibility for Council over the next three years
- Greater ability to strategise and plan ahead to achieve better outcomes
NSWALC will continue to consult with LALCs, Members and Aboriginal Owners in the development of the supplements.
