Strong futures and economic development

Yirralka and Dhimurru have many partners and we welcome new partnerships that support and inform our ways of djäkami wäŋawu.  Like the meeting of the salt and freshwaters, the relationships can create new understandings with both Yolŋu and ŋapaki knowledges standing eye to eye.

We want to develop sustainable livelihoods for our families and future generations. Tourism is just one way of doing this. It is already a recognised source of income for some landowners and their families and offers an opportunity to develop Yolŋu owned and managed businesses and provide our young people with skills for the future.

We have long standing practices of welcoming people to our Country. We enjoy the opportunity to showcase our unique culture and Country with other people. By continuing these practices we will work with landowners and their families and their partners, to support projects that are a priority whilst protecting the most important places within the IPA. Dhimurru and Yirralka both play an important role in supporting landowner’s aspirations to achieve sustainable livelihoods.

“We have a vision for a long term sustainable economic development in our IPA to keep our families strong by supporting Yolŋu businesses on their Country based on their own stories and knowledges for that Country.”
