Content
The inclusion of interested parties and their local knowledge in the implementation of Land and Sea Country management has been steadily growing, with power sharing and negotiation processes becoming adopted systematically throughout Australia. Broadly described as collaborative management, this power sharing is typically between the State and resource ‘users’ at either a local and/or regional level. Today, decision-making processes involved in program implementation inevitably necessitates a broader engagement with knowledge and values other than those provided by western science and neoclassical economics. Today, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander knowledge is required for a whole of Country approach to collaborating in the diverse arenas of land and sea Country management. This unit will explore the nature of these changing relationships between Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people and Australia's settler society. It will also examine examples of increasing dialogue between the two knowledge systems. Themes will include: cultural burning practices, Protected Area management priorities, cultural heritage safeguarding, the inclusion of Country based knowledge systems, two-way learning, Sea Country management and community capacity building. The assessment tasks are designed to identify characteristics of successful co-design projects in local areas, present Case Studies on differing types of collaborative programs and lastly, deliver a presentation that offers recommendations for collaborative processes that can improve collaborative management on the Country you work on.
