Traditional Owners

In May and June 2025, the four southern Great Barrier Reef Traditional Owner groups, Darumbal, Port Curtis Coral Coast (PCCC), Yuwibara and Woppaburra, will meet with members of the Southern Plan of Management (Southern POM) team to discuss aspirations and cultural values of their Sea Country. 

The Traditional Owner coordinators have previously partnered with the Reef Authority and QPWS in two workshops identifying the ecological, social and cultural values, pressures, threats, and potential management strategies for Sea Country. 

The five core cultural values identified at the previous workshops were: Song Lines, Creation Stories, Language Lines, Trading Routes and Lore. 

The on-Country meetings are a key step in ensuring that Traditional Owner cultural values and perspectives are deeply understood and integrated into the development of the Southern POM. 

Coordinators from the four Traditional Owner groups can be contacted via the below:
