What's next?
You talked, we listened. Where do we go from here?
NILSS Engagement is now wrapped! What's Next?
Firstly, the ILSC would like to thank everyone involved with the NILSS consultation process. Whether that was attending an engagement session in person or online, submitting a written response, participating in the online survey, or giving us a call. Your contribution has been invaluable.
Now that community consultation has been completed, here are the ILSC’s next steps:
- Share a public consultation report showcasing where we went, what we heard, and how we will use the information gathered. The report will be shared across the ILSC social media platforms and accessible via the ILSC website
- Prepare the new National Indigenous Land and Sea Strategy for release in 2023
- Commence further regional consultation in 2023 to support the ILSC Regional Indigenous Land and Sea Strategies
If you have anything related to the NILSS you would like to share, we encourage you to get in touch at NILSS@ilsc.gov.au or 1800 818 490.
We encourage you to make contact with us at any time – email NILSS@ilsc.gov.au or give us a call on 1800 818 490.
