Traditional Custodians of Southern Gippsland


Acknowledgement of Country

Growing Southern Gippsland and all project partners would like to acknowledge and pay our respects to the Traditional Custodians within Southern Gippsland, The Bunurong and the Gunaikurnai.  We also pay our respects to their elders, past, present and future and continually recognise the contribution of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people and organisations in Land and Natural Resource Management.

The traditional owner organisations in Southern Gippsland are represented by two Registered Aboriginal Parties (RAP):

  • Gunaikurnai Land and Waters Aboriginal Corporation (GLaWAC) – Native Title Holders, Traditional Owner Settlement agreement holders and Registered Aboriginal Party (RAP).
  • Bunurong Land Council Aboriginal Corporation (BLCAC) Registered Aboriginal Party (RAP)
