After the Gospers Mountain fire of 2019, Mingaan Wiradjuri Aboriginal Corporation is working hard to heal Country and communities near Lithgow.

Caring for Country and improving land management practices have been a focus for Mingaan Wiradjuri Aboriginal Corporation (Mingaan) since it was established in 2008.

Mingaan recently celebrated completion of the first stage of a bushfire recovery project in the reserve surrounding the locally significant Maiyingu Marragu protected area.

Learn more about how Mingaan has helped the land heal as well as their big plans for the future in this month’s Spotlight On from the Office of the Registrar of Indigenous Corporations.
