The Bidjara Project initiated in 2014 is considered a landmark project by Regional Economic Solutions (RES) Director Leann Wilson.
RES was engaged by the Australian Government to provide specialist consultancy services for the Bidjara Native Title Applicants. The appointment was made under the Department of the Prime Minister and Cabinet’s Jobs, Land and Economy Program.
The RES team was responsible for collating and reviewing all agreements between Bidjara Traditional Owners Ltd and the various resource companies. This consolidated information was then utilised by the Bidjara Traditional Owners to develop and negotiate holistic strategies with all resource companies; including participation, employment and procurement.
