Minyumai Land Holding Aboriginal Corporation
Our Culture and People
Minyumai IPA is owned and managed by the Bandjalang community in accordance with Bandjalang Laws and Customs and through the sharing and learning from our collective traditional knowledge which continues to strengthen and evolve.
​
History & Governance
Minyumai was handed back to the Bandjalang Clan by the Indigenous Land Corporation (ILC) on the 16th of April 1999. It has been managed ever since by our people, with the management group having strong representation from the traditional custodial family in keeping with customary law.
​
Ownership and management of Minyumai is vested in the Minyumai Land Holding Aboriginal Corporation (Minyumai LHAC), on behalf of the Bandjalang clan, and governed by an elected Board. By declaring the property an IPA, we dedicated Minyumai to the conservation of the natural habitats in a way that is consistent with our culture and can help offer training and employment for our clan.
