Do you assist with farming projects?
Yes, we do! Manungurra Aboriginal Corporation has a range of equipment at our disposal to assist with basic earthmoving tasks and land cultivation. We also offer a Seed Harvesting Pilot Program as part of our training and education services.
Can you offer electrical help?
As custodians of the land, we endeavour to have a positive impact on the environment around us. In the past, we have worked on various solar panel installation projects, as we prefer to use renewable energy and reduce our carbon footprint.
What are the objectives of your homeland developments?
The objectives are simple. Because the Kunapa families have cultural and traditional responsibilities to protect the land and ecosystem, we make every effort to preserve the natural environment in a number of ways. These are predominantly demonstrated through measures that reduce our carbon footprint, such as the development of biodiesel infrastructure and alternate housing.
Can I get support for an upcoming funeral or ceremony?
Yes, you can! We assist families experiencing loss by contributing to the cost of a funeral service, especially those outside the Kunapa homelands. You will however, need to gain the Directors’ approval.
