Join us in congratulating Nganhurra Thanardi Garrbu Aboriginal Corporation!
Posted: August 29th, 2025
Today, we congratulate Nganhurra Thanardi Garrbu Aboriginal Corporation (NTGAC) and the Baiyungu and Yinnigurrura Peoples, as they celebrate the formal creation of new conservation estate on their Country.
The related Indigenous Land Use Agreement (ILUA) enables the creation of reserves, which include Jarralya National Park and Boologooro Nature Reserve. Together, these areas cover around 380,000 hectares of Country in the Gascoyne region.
Through the State Government’s Plan for Our Parks initiative, these areas will be jointly managed by NTGAC and the WA Department of Biodiversity, Conservation and Attractions (DBCA).
YMAC is proud to have been part of achieving this important milestone and acknowledges all of the hard work contributed by everyone involved in accomplishing it.
