Vor 3 Tagen
The Anindilyakwa Land Council (ALC) represents the Traditional Owners of the Groote Archipelago.
The ALC is a 'future-forward' Land Council, directed by the 14 clans of the Groote Archipelago region, enabling the Anindilyakwa people to take full advantage of the opportunities and technology available in the 21st century, while simultaneously preserving land, language and culture.
The ALC functions to ascertain and express the wishes and opinions of the Anindilyakwa people as to the management of the land and sea in the Groote archipelago region, protecting the interests of the Traditional Owners, assisting in the protection of sacred sites, assist the Anindilyakwa people in traditional land claims, negotiation with persons desiring to obtain an estate or interest in the land, assist Traditional Owners in carrying out commercial activity, and supervise and provide administrative and other assistance for Land Trusts holding Indigenous land in the Groote archipelago region.
The vision of the ALC is to:
Protect, maintain and promote Anindilyakwa culture; Invest in the present to build a self-sufficient future; Create pathways for youth to stand in both worlds.
About the PositionReporting to the Legal and Corporate Affairs Manager, this position requires the Legal and Governance Officer to be part of a close-knit and highly experienced team of professionals, delivering progressive and rapidly evolving agendas, which are the culmination of many years of careful planning and consultation.
This role will provide a high level of competence, professionalism and sophistication through support to the Legal and Corporate Affairs Manager in interfacing with the ALC CEO, Chairman and Board, senior levels of the Australian Government, NT Government, External Legal Counsel, public service and Ministerial Offices, including arranging meetings, agendas, and relevant documentations and speaking notes, across an expanding agenda and at the cutting edge of Aboriginal affairs policy.
This role will bring innovative, creative and progressive ideas when informing the ALC regarding policies and strategic direction and will work with a finance operation that is dealing in large volumes of mining royalty incomes within a complex legal environment.
The Legal & Governance Officer will be required to bridge the worlds of highly-traditional Aboriginal first language-speakers with their desired future to participate in the wider Australian and international economy through the realisation of the ALC's vision and mission.
A genuine interest in and knowledge of the Groote Archipelago Local Decision-Making Agreement, Aboriginal Land Rights (Northern Territory) Act 1976 (ALRA), Native Title Act (1993) and a desire to improve the on-the-ground outcomes for the Traditional Owners of the Groote Archipelago is essential for success in this role.
