The Arafura Swamp IPA proposal outlines an Indigenous community initiative to establish an IPA in central Arnhem Land. It is designed to accompany the Arafura Swamp Rangers Aboriginal Corporation Healthy Country Plan.
The Healthy Country Plan was prepared for ASRAC by Yolŋu and Bi clans and families, the traditional owners and djungkayi of the land and sea that is connected to Gurruwiling (the Arafura Swamp).

We know that the land needs its people to care for it and to keep it healthy. In the same way we know that caring for the country keeps us healthy – physically, spiritually and mentally.
