Creating sustainable employment on sea Country
From grassroots beginnings as a fishing advocacy group, Joonga Land and Water Aboriginal Corporation has become a thriving organisation. It’s providing local jobs in land and sea management on projects that care for Country on the NSW south coast.
Walbunja man Wally Stewart and a board of Yuin Traditional Owners are taking opportunities for Joonga to go even further. But handling the fast and large growth has been a challenge. Strong relationships and constant communication have been key to keeping up with the speed of expansion and project delivery.
