As Trustees of Eastern Kuku Yalanji traditional estate, our vision is to be caring custodians of bubu (country) and jalun (sea), so Bama benefit culturally, economically, academically, and socially, while enhancing Eastern Kuku Yalanjiwarra (EKY) lore and cultural values.
The name Jabalbina was given to the Organisation by Elders at the 2007 Native Title Determination. The name “Jabalbina” means, “Home of the Ancesetors”. We work to achieve
Following 13 years of native title mediation between Eastern Kuku Yalanjiwarra and stakeholders, the Federal Court had made the consent determination of their traditional lands in Far North Queensland on 9 December 2007 in Diwan.
The native title determination included the settlement of 15 Indigenous Land Use Agreements (ILUA’s) registered by the National Native Title Tribunal. Each ILUA reflect agreements between various traditional owners and interested parties on the use and management of land and waters to keeping them protected. The determination area covers approximately 126,900 hectares in total from south of Mossman, west of Great Dividing Range, north near Annan River. The Eastern Kuku Yalanji traditional lands extends further off the determined areas.
As Trustees of Eastern Kuku Yalanji traditional estate our vision is to be caring custodians of bubu so Bama benefit culturally, economically, academically and socially, while enhancing Eastern Kuku Yalanji lore and cultural values.
We aspire to be self funded by exploring and developing opportunities
available to Bama.
Jabalbina will assist in the realisation of this vision through provision of quality:
developing strategic plans to achieve a longer-term vision. The process includes defining the corporate strategic goals and intentions at the top and cascading them through each level of the organization.
