Overview
Lumburra Bimbi is the cultural heritage body for the Western Kangoulu People. On Country Heritage acts as their advisor, engaged directly by them to support delivery, engagement with proponents, and growth beyond cultural heritage.
Our approach is Traditional Owner-led. Lumburra Bimbi leads all cultural heritage decisions, while we provide structure and advice to support consistent and scalable delivery.
Context
