Recognition and Settlement Agreement
In 2010, we signed a Recognition and Settlement Agreement (RSA) with the Victorian Government.
A Revised Settlement Package was agreed to by Gunaikurnai native title holders in November 2025.
That revised Gunaikurnai Settlement Package has now commenced between the State of Victoria and GLaWAC as the Gunaikurnai peoples’ representative corporation.
The Recognition and Settlement Agreement (RSA) is a formal agreement between the Gunaikurnai people and the Victorian Government, first signed in 2010.
It’s the foundation for how we care for Country, strengthen culture, and shape our self-determined future.
The original agreement:
>> Recognises us as the Traditional Owners of much of Gippsland;
>> Transferred Aboriginal title to ten national parks and reserves to be jointly managed with the State;
>> Protects our rights to be on Country and practice culture;
>> Backs our future with funding to support cultural and economic opportunities for our community.
