It is an
honour and blessing to be given the opportunity to review the Yacata
Development and
Strategic Plan. A lot of hours and hard work was put in the making of the first
plan. All community
development areas such as education, economic development, culture, resources
from land and sea, culture and spirituality were practically assessed and transformed.
We have achieved our goals in discussing each of the areas in our first plan and we will
try to propose in our proposal of how we can change, improve or make it better, our
strategic plan as we seek to develop village holistic life.
We conclude
that we must have funds as seed money to propose changes in our village way of life. A
new mindset must be established to renew the ways we have been doing things in our
community or village. The question of justice was asked of how can the hotel management pay
compensation to the traditional owners of the use of Qoliqoli and land at
Yacata.
The
development and strategic plan will uncover values and potential yet to be
uncovered and seen.
Various areas of community development need improvement, so a new approach needs
discovering to refine and implement changes to some sections of village life at
Yacata.
Areas such
as health, tourism, water, airstrip, joint ventures, sea and land resources,
law and order,
spirituality and infrastructure. Part of the invested compensation funds, and
its interest
will be utilised as seed money to enable strategic community development.We will
stand with people and their vision to see changes and good health today and for future generations.As our legal representatives in Australia is engaged to look after our resources it does not stop us from pursuing our own crowd fundraising to fund our Yacata Strategic developement Plan.
