Wreck Bay Aboriginal Community Council seeks to be a respected equal and valued part of a culturally diverse Australian society.

By controlling and managing its own lands and waters, the Community aims to become self sufficient and able to freely determine its future and lifestyles.

The Community desires to do this by protecting its interests and values while preserving for future generations, its unique identity, heritage and culture.

To achieve this vision Wreck Bay Aboriginal Community Council’s Goals are:

  • Sole ownership of all lands and waters within Jervis Bay Territory.
  • Sole management of its freehold land and waters, allowing for Community responsibility, empowerment and self determination.
  • Sole representation of the Community’s united and democratically agreed interests, at all levels of Government and in all external dealing so as to protect Community and members rights.
  • Environmentally sustainable development, to allow a productive economic base for the Community. By managing Booderee as an ongoing park, the Community seeks to protect the land and waters while earning income, creating jobs and achieving financial security.
  • Social and cultural development, linked with appropriate cultural training and education, to improve Community empowerment and management, security and wellbeing, while preserving Community value.
  • Improved health, housing and living standards, to levels comparable with good practise in other Australian communities.
  • Recognition and support from the wider Australian community and Government, to achieve these worthwhile and positive goals.
