The Natural Resources Access Regulator (NRAR) board has welcomed Phil Duncan, a Gomeroi man with more than 38 years' experience working with Indigenous people, communities and government. 

Mr Duncan said he is excited to play a key role in endorsing the regulator’s new strategic plan and weighing in on the development of its regulatory priorities and risk principles. 

“I want to have a significant cultural impact on what we do, because I know we can be better together. I am very much looking forward to the opportunity to sit on NRAR’s board and to play a role in protecting and preserving waterthrough effective enforcement of water laws in NSW,” he said.  

Mr Duncan concluded saying he hopes his leadership echoes those who he admires most – Murrandoo Yanner, Aden Ridgeway, Stan Grant, Joe Morrison, June Oscar and Linda Burney. 

"But in particular, I hope my leadership reflects my ancestors, my community, my family and my Nation, the Gomeroi,” he said.
