Fitzroy Catchment Traditional Owners Alliance advocates for healthy water at latest forum

FCTOA representatives with CSIRO/UTS and Greening Australia staff on the first day of the latest forum.

đź‘Ť having all Traditional Owner groups working towards the same goal. Recently these 24 Traditional Owners, representing First Nations groups in the Fitzroy Catchment, attended the second ever two-day forum of the Fitzroy Catchment Traditional Owners Alliance (FCTOA).

The forums are a vehicle for Traditional Owners of the Fitzroy Basin to be heard as one voice advocating for action, knowledge sharing and collective decision-making on whole-of-Basin issues. Thank you to key stakeholders who supported the forum: CSIRO, the Department of Regional Development, Manufacturing and Water, Fitzroy Basin Association and Greening Australia.

The TNQ Drought Hub is proud to be involved, with Program Lead Allan Dale providing governance and policy advice across the forums.  Learn more: Fitzroy Catchment Traditional Owners Alliance advocates for water – Greening Australia
