Co-management

What is a co-management agreement?

A co-management agreement is a formal agreement and genuine partnership between a mining proponent and the PKKP People. These co-management agreements ensure shared decision-making processes, providing better protection and management of PKKP cultural heritage when mining projects are proposed on our land. The agreements are being established to give Traditional Owners a stronger role in decision-making regarding new mining activities and to ensure that heritage protection and management is a priority from the start.

How does the CMA benefit our community?

These co-management agreements provide earlier engagement with mining companies and introduce stronger heritage protections, allowing Traditional Owners greater involvement in land and heritage management. This approach gives PKKP People a stronger voice on what happens on Country, while providing direct funding to the Corporation for co-management.
