The initial first edition Healthy Country Plan was completed with Yolŋu and Bi clans and families in 2017. It is a foundational document holding the vision and instructions of the Traditional Aboriginal Owners of the land and sea country connected to Gurruwiling (the Arafura Swamp).
This second edition (2025-2035) of the Healthy Country Plan incorporates the management prescription for the Arafura Swamp IPA. Our goals align closely with those of the IPA program; both aim to look after Country and support Indigenous culture while generating jobs, training and livelihoods for Yolŋu and Bi.
ASRAC’s vision for healthy Country, people and culture will be realised through our Ranger Corporation and the framework of an Indigenous Protected Area.
