Aboriginal Leadership

A township lease brings in a simpler land administration system which can benefit the whole community. A township lease provides certainty of tenure through long term subleases. Governments, local organisations and commercial developers can operate in the township knowing they have secure land tenure under their sublease which creates better conditions for business and economic development opportunities.

The secure tenure system is also an incentive for governments to invest in the community, manage government assets (such as schools, clinics, and housing) and improve service delivery.

"I want to empower my people by providing choices, choices that we in the bush have never had before."

The grandfather of township leasing.
