A new home, a significant milestone, and a stronger future for Cape York Cape York Land Council

12/11/2026

Investing in strong organisations helps create lasting outcomes for Country and community.

Today, Cape York Land Council officially opened Karwoppa Yunkaporta, its new headquarters in Gimuy (Cairns), supported by more than $3.5 million in funding from the ILSC.

The new facility provides a permanent, modern, and secure base for CYLC's work with Traditional Owners across Cape York, strengthening its capacity to deliver Native Title representation and advocacy throughout the region.

ILSC GCEO Joe Morrison joined leaders and community members to celebrate the opening and acknowledge the importance of building strong foundations for future generations.

In 2024, we celebrated the opening of the Coober Pedy Dialysis Centre with The Purple House, a milestone that means more people can receive lifesaving treatment on Country, surrounded by family, community and culture.

Last month, the ILSC hosted the 2026 Northern Territory Savanna Fire Management Program Forum on Limilngan-Wulna Country.

Bringing together six Indigenous ranger groups from across the Top End, alongside Traditional Owners, project partners and industry experts, the forum provided an opportunity to share knowledge, celebrate achievements and explore the future of Indigenous-led fire management and carbon projects.

The forum featured presentations from INPEX (INPEX Australia), Perpetual (Perpetual Limited for Accountants), North Australia and Rangelands Fire Information service (NAFI), the Indigenous Carbon Industry Network (ICIN) and the Bureau of Meteorology, highlighting opportunities, challenges and emerging trends across the sector.

As the program marks 10 years of supporting First Nations communities to care for Country, the forum celebrated achievements across the sector while looking ahead to the next chapter of savanna fire management.

A look back at the impact of an ILSC-funded water infrastructure project at Seven Emu Station on Garawa Country.

Following the installation of a new bore and solar pump in 2023-24, the station gained access to clean, reliable water, unlocking lasting benefits for the community, Country, and local enterprise.

This is a powerful example of how investing in essential infrastructure can strengthen community wellbeing, support cultural practices, and build long-term economic resilience.

Today on Handback Day, we recognise the significance of returning land to Traditional Owners and the powerful opportunities that flow from that return.

For the ILSC, land is the foundation for cultural strength, economic development, caring for Country, and intergenerational prosperity. We are proud to support First Nations communities in transforming land ownership into lasting benefits for their people.
