The IndigenousLand Corporation (ILC) is an independent Australian Government statutory authority, established to provide social, cultural, economic and environmental benefits to Indigenous people by assisting them to acquire and manage land. The ILC Board understands that land not only providesopportunities for training and employment, but provides social, cultural, environmental and economic benefits for the whole community. In this presentation I will present several case studies that reflect the ILC’s practical approach to assisting economic development of indigenous communities through land management projects. These case studies focus on the socio-economic benefits being delivered through long-term land management of rangelands in the Brewarrina region of NSW, in Australia’s Top End.
