This record provides an overview of the NESP Marine and Coastal Hub Research Plan 2024 project "An Indigenous-led approach to advance the health and wellbeing of Tebrakunna Country and people of the Coastal Plains nation, north-eastern Tasmania". No data outputs are planned for this project.
--------------------
This research is an Indigenous led co-designed project between Melythina Tiakana Warrana Aboriginal Corporation (MTWAC) and the University of Tasmania spanning all four NESP Hubs. It is focusing on Healthy Country Planning (HCP) processes at Tebrakunna as the Coastal Plains Nation are re-connecting to Ancestral land and sea Country. Through MTWAC’s strategic direction, key priorities and areas of interest there is a core focus on concepts surrounding healthy Country and healthy people that will develop throughout the project and contribute to the HCP for MTWAC.
MTWAC aims to be a sustainable organisation, manage culture and heritage, and contribute to healing and wellbeing and broader community engagement. To achieve these priorities, through MTWAC-led HCP processes, Western scientists will work closely with MTWAC, including Indigenous Researchers within this community, Tebrakunna Country Ranger Program and HCP Facilitators. The project will assess priority values, targets, threats and viability of land and sea of Tebrakunna Country. We will determine within budget and time constraints where efforts will be best targeted to improve and protect the health of Country and people at Tebrakunna. Monitoring and evaluation, including of the wellbeing of people and Country, through measurable, community-developed goals and strategies will improve capacity and employment opportunities of MTWAC and the Tebrakunna Rangers.
