Summary Information:
The Kombumerri Community and Beenleigh Youth Shared Responsibility Agreement is an agreement to build an interpretive garden at the Yugambeh Museum. The garden will include plants of economic and cultural importance to the Kombumerri People and be used to complement existing cultural education facilities and activities at the museum. Shared Responsibility Agreements are agreements between governments and Indigenous communities to provide discretionary funding in return for community obligations. The new arrangements developed from an initiative of the Council of Australian Governments and replace the previous ATSIC system of funding. For further information see 'Shared Responsibility Agreement' below.
