Bibbul Ngarma Aboriginal Association
A new model for stronger country, culture and community
Bibbul Ngarma Aboriginal Association
Community-driven | Collaborative | Connected to Country
A new collaborative and community-led program for healthy rivers.
BoorYul-Bah-Bilya (BBB) is our flagship initiative that aims to address declining river health by creating a new type of community catchment plan.
BBB is the first program of its kind to consider environmental, social, cultural and economic values in one integrated plan, allowing a better balance between the many values of rivers.
Its grassroots approach ensures local knowledge is embedded throughout and enables community, residents, businesses, schools and government to contribute towards the future vision.
Ngallaka Moort (OUR ORGANISATION)
An Aboriginal-led charity located on Whadjuk-Noongar Boodja in Perth.
We exist to create transformative change for natural environments, cultural significance and communities from an Aboriginal perspective.
Our objectives are to:
- Protect, preserve, restore and enhance the natural environment and its associated cultural significance from an Aboriginal perspective.
- Provide education, research, training and management about the natural environment and its cultural significance.
- Engage and consult with the wider community and encourage greater participation and inclusion in the natural environment and its cultural significance.
moort koomba (OUR PEOPLE)
We are story-tellers, researchers, writers, artists, engineers, scientists and historians.
Bibbul Ngarma Aboriginal Association was established in 2022 by Chairperson Walter McGuire, a Noongar Traditional Owner.
Greg Ugle and May McGuire are our Senior Elders.
Our Executive Director is Francesca Flynn, an environmental scientist and project manager.
Our activities are led from a Noongar perspective but designed for everyone, so we can all benefit from the knowledge and systems that have balanced these lands from the beginning.
We work with community groups, businesses, schools, researchers, residents and government to deliver collaborative activities that meet our objectives and connect our community together.
We have a unique opportunity to change the future for Australian rivers but we need your help.
Your input is very important to us. The more people complete this survey, the stronger our plan for the future will be, so we want to hear from everyone!
