Body

The Indigenous Land Corporation (ILC) has a mandate to deliver cultural, social, environmental and economic benefits to indigenous landholders across Australia. A focus on capacity development, willingness, succession planning, strong governance and the development of a business enterprise culture, assist indigenous landholders in the rangelands to reach sustainable outcomes - and thus the achievement of actual, on ground benefits for people.

Historically, the ILC acquired pastoral leases to 'service' the cultural connection that traditional owners have with country. Today, an economic focus is beamed onto these and other indigenous-held pastoral leases in order to optimise business outcomes and to provide sustainability in both economic and environmental terms.
