1. MOU Bala-yanhi Miya CAWP and CGRC ⇩ |
|
The Bala-yahni Miya (Memorandum of Understanding) between Cootamundra Aboriginal Working Party and Cootamundra-Gundagai Regional Council be acknowledged and signed by all parties. |
Introduction
At its Ordinary Meeting of 25 May 2021, the draft Bala-yahni Miya Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between Cootamundra Aboriginal Working Party (CAWP) and Cootamundra-Gundagai Regional Council (Council) was presented to council for endorsement.
Since then, Council and the CAWP have been unable to proceed with the official ceremony and signing of the document for various scheduling reasons. We are now officially presenting the MOU to council for endorsement and signing by all parties.
Discussion
Gundagai and Cootamundra are two separate communities and are part of two Local Aboriginal Lands Councils. As such, separate groups exist in each town to deal with Aboriginal community concerns in Cootamundra being the Cootamundra Aboriginal Working Party and in Gundagai being the less formal Gundagai Cultural Group as a subcommittee of the Gundagai Neighbourhood Centre Incorporated.
Bala-yahni Miya is a commitment by both the Cootamundra Aboriginal Working Party and the Council to consult, negotiate and work together.
