November 2018

The Muli Muli Clean Up Country Project has just won a 2018 Premier's Award! The project was an initiative of the Muli Muli Ladies Club, whose members were concerned about the impact of a 50-year-old waste dumping site that had encroached on the traditional burial grounds of their ancestors.
The NSW Environment Protection Authority (EPA), in collaboration with North East Waste - NEWaste, Muli Muli Local Aboriginal Land Council, the Ladies Club and Githabul Rangers, developed and implemented a community rubbish management plan. DPM facilitated the writing of a song called 'Looking Out For Country' with a group of kids from Woodenbong School, and made a music video in the community as part of the education component of the plan. Yey us, and everyone else involved with the project, for a fantastic win.

We are delighted to share with you our 2018 Annual Report.
The report charts our 17 year history as well as our major partnerships and projects in 1718.
