The Bega Local Aboriginal Land Council (Bega LALC) is one of 119 similar organisations that comprise a network that covers the NSW landmass. This network of LALCs was established under the NSW Aboriginal Land Rights Act 1983 (ALRA ). The Bega LALC mandated area (~5900sq.km) is approximately 35 kilometres north south and 180 kms east to west. For example from Merimbula Bridge to Aragunnu and from the coast across the Snowy Mountains to the Murray River . The ALRA states that the objectives of each Local Aboriginal Land Council are to “improve, protect and foster the best interests of all Aboriginal persons within the Council’s area and other persons who are members of the Council”. To achieve these objectives the Bega LALC core operations focus on the following; • Land Management • Community Participation and Wellbeing • Culture, Heritage and Environment • Governance and Operations • Employment and Economic Development • Housing
