The Elders Advisory Committee will play a crucial role in providing guidance and cultural insights on various matters, including membership decisions, advice to Kultju directors, and consulting with mining companies when requested. Their contributions will ensure decisions align with the cultural values and heritage of the Kultju people.
As Kultju continues to move forward, the establishment of the Elders Advisory Committee marks a vital step in ensuring the voices of our Elders remain central to the Corporation’s journey.
RCM – NSR Functions (Northern Star Bronzewing)
The Relationship Committee is responsible for maintaining cooperation and communication between the Parties under the Agreement. Its key functions include:
- Serving as a regular communication forum about issues related to the Activities and the Agreement.
- Monitoring how the Agreement is implemented and whether the Parties comply with it.
- Reviewing performance and making non-binding recommendations to improve implementation.
- Carrying out dispute resolution responsibilities under clause 16 under the agreement.
- Monitoring the employment, procurement, and contracting participation strategies (clause 11.2 under the agreement).
- Tracking Northern Star’s progress against Indigenous employment targets (clause 11.3).
- Performing any additional functions specifically assigned under the Agreement.
The Committee has powers needed to perform these roles, including seeking expert advice
and delegating tasks (with limits). However, the Committee cannot:
- Stop or control Northern Star’s Activities or Project Rights.
- Make decisions on cultural authority or native title matters.
It also recognises that Kultju AC representatives may need to consult with appropriate
Common Law Holders on cultural matters when they arise.
We are committed to empowering Aboriginal Communities and preserving Cultural Heritage through meaningful collaboration and action.
