Strategies

DBCA is committed to meeting requirements of national and state strategies that seek to build meaningful partnerships and meet the aspirations of Aboriginal people. These strategies include Closing the Gap, the Aboriginal Empowerment Strategy, Reconciliation Action Plan, the Tjina: Western Australian Aboriginal Tourism Action Plan, and the Aboriginal Ranger Program, along with others in development. DBCA is committed to the State Government Aboriginal Procurement Strategy which seeks to increase the involvement of Aboriginal businesses in the delivery of government services and projects, and fee-for-service and tendered contracts.

Fire management practices

DBCA acknowledges that fire has been, and continues to be, an important part of the physical and spiritual wellbeing of Aboriginal people. While contemporary burning practises may differ from cultural burning practices, increasing engagement between Traditional Owners and other land managers is building an understanding of the differences, and is providing opportunities to improve fire management practices through a partnership approach.
