About
Key Activities
To increase the economic benefit of the Trust asset to the Communities the Trust has increasingly developed activities and commercial programs in partnership with Communities.
Property Management
The Aboriginal Lands Trust holds title to 64 properties comprising well over 500,000 hectares of land.
The core functions of the Trust are to hold, manage and administer land. The Trust has met these responsibilities by organising the leasing of land to Communities and managing natural resource management programs to improve conditions on the land.
Land Management
ALT has been steadfast in its commitment to assisting Aboriginal Communities and all Aboriginal landholders to address land management problems and work towards rehabilitating degraded lands to their former natural state or improve viability for economic development initiatives.
Economic Development
ABORIGINAL LANDS TRUST takes a proactive role in the economic development of properties within the ABORIGINAL LANDS TRUST portfolio through a combination of approaches
Community Relationships
The major Aboriginal communities of Yalata, Koonibba, Nepabunna, Umoona, Davenport, Point Pearce, Gerard and Raukkan are all on ALT land, as are a number of homelands. Accordingly these Aboriginal communities represent ALT’s major stakeholder base.
Projects
Aboriginal Learning on Country Program (ALoC)
The Aboriginal Learning on Country (ALoC) program is a natural resources management training and employment program for Aboriginal community members which began in the Riverland in 2008, in response to the Aboriginal Community’s aspiration to be actively involved in NRM, and the lack of projects funding and opportunities in the area at that time.
