About the Dhelkunya Dja Land Management Board
"Womin-dji-ka. Welcome to the website for the Dhelkunya Dja Land Management Board, a Traditional Owner Land Management Board (TOLMB). The board is responsible for the delivery of a Joint Management Plan (JMP) to the Minister for the Appointed Land under the Dja Dja Wurrung Recognition and Settlement Agreement between the State and the Dja Dja Wurrung Clans Aboriginal Corporation. The ‘Appointed Land’ comprises six national parks in central Victoria that have been transferred to the Traditional Owners on Aboriginal Title.
The Board is working in collaboration with our partner organisations to develop a JMP that empowers Dja Dja Wurrung People in the landscape to look after Country in a way that maintains and respects their connection to the land.
The aim of the Joint Management Plan is to ensure that Dja Dja Wurrung culture and traditional practices, and the unique relationship of Dja Dja Wurrung People to their traditional Country, can be recognised, strengthened, protected and promoted, for the benefit of all Victorians now and into the future."
