Lithgow Emerging Economies Plan (LEEP)
First Nations Network
The LEEP First Nations Network will help to ensure that Indigenous perspectives are incorporated in decision-making as we undertake our work in implementing the LEEP Report.
The LEEP First Nations Network will play a vital role in integrating Aboriginal knowledge in the transitions management process, particularly in the areas of environmental stewardship, cultural heritage, and socially equitable outcomes. The Network will meet 2-3 times a year at 176 Mort Street, Lithgow, and be consulted on a case-by-case basis, with a view to:
- Providing localised advice and guidance for the LEEP transitions management process, to assist greater understanding and awareness of local First Nations peoples’ interests, concerns, values and aspirations
- Advocating and supporting the creation of education opportunities, jobs and careers for First Nations Australians and First Nations-controlled service providers through the LEEP transitions management process
