About us

In 2019, representatives from a number of Traditional Owner groups throughout the Lake Eyre Basin came together for the Lake Eyre Basin Traditional Owners Alliance.

This meeting was initiated and organised by Traditional Owners from the Lake Eyre Basin.

The outcomes of the meeting included:

• We endorsed three key statements made by Traditional Owners of the Lake Eyre Basin (The Tibooburra Resolution 2011, The Our Water, Our Future Statement (2019), and the ‘Healthy Water, Healthy Future Statement (2019)

• We defined our shared values for the waterways, above and underground, for the Lake Eyre Basin

• We articulated our position on the Queensland Government’s Pristine Rivers election commitment- we want our rivers to remain free-flowing and our floodplains protected from fracking.  

• We resolved to continue to stand together as the Lake Eyre Basin Traditional Owners Alliance.
