“We’re honoured to accept this award which acknowledges the benefits thousands of years of cultural knowledge brings to land management here in Australia.” - Narrap Unit Manager and Wurundjeri Elder, Sean Hunter.


Victoria’s Wurundjeri Woi Wurrung Cultural Heritage Aboriginal Corporation Narrap Unit have been announced as the winners for the 2022 KPMG Indigenous Land Management Award.

The Narrap Unit cares for Wurundjeri Country by blending conventional environmental conservation and land management methods with Wurundjeri cultural practices.
