Under the Corporations (Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander) Act 2006 (CATSI Act), corporations have internal governance rules. That is, rules that guide how each corporation should be run based on principles of good governance. The CATSI Act allows Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people to create rules that best suit their specific needs. These rules form the corporation’s rule book.
Respected member of Carnarvon Common Ground, Devinia Wainwright collaborated and mentored Theonie McKenna to create the artwork for the Project. This piece tells the story of our community walking together toward a shared future. It represents the Common Ground as a place where services and community unite to provide support, guidance, connection, and healing for our youth and families.
The river meeting the sea – a landmark of Carnarvon -symbolises peace, grounding, and our deep connection to spirit and ancestors who walk with us every day. Our lands and ocean sustain us with traditional foods like mullet, kangaroo, and turtle, keeping us strong and healthy while preserving our culture for generations to come.
