Dhimurru Aboriginal Corporation

Since time immemorial Yolngu, the Aboriginal people of Northeast Arnhem Land, have managed their land and have achieved a balance that ensured long-term, sustainable use for the economic and social well-being of the landowners.

The Yolngu were recognised as the traditional owners of approximately 101,000 hectares of Arnhem Land under the Aboriginal Land Rights (NT) Act 1976 and in 1992 the Dhimurru Land Management Aboriginal Corporation was incorporated under the Aboriginal Councils and Associations Act 1976. Dhimurru has jurisdiction over approximately 8,500 square kilometres of this land.
