Yuwaya Ngarra-li – ‘Vision’.CLD Centre Align

"The Dharriwaa Elders will lead a collaboration with UNSW and other supporters to grow our individual and community strengths and assets. We aim to restore a robust belonging to thriving families, community and country, while making our place in the nation and sharing our learning with other communities". Dharriwaa Elders Group, Walgett.

The purpose of Yuwaya Ngarra-li is for the Dharriwaa Elders Group (DEG) and UNSW to work in partnership to improve the wellbeing, social, built and physical environment and life pathways of Aboriginal people in Walgett through collaborating on evidence-based programs, research projects and capacity building, and to evaluate this model of CommUNIty-Led Development as a way of working with other Aboriginal communities.

Yuwaya Ngarra-li is an initiative that will promote two-way learning between Walgett's Dharriwaa Elders Group and a range of UNSW faculties, with long term academic leadership by Professor Eileen Baldry and keenly supported by Vice-Chancellor Ian Jacobs

Impact Engineers & Ernie Sands installing water efficient test beds in WAMS Community Garden #1
Impact Engineers from UNSW Global Water Institute, with Ernie Sands from WAMS installed 2 x water efficient test garden beds in the Walgett Aboriginal Medical Service ("WAMS") Community Garden in early June 2019. They planted the beds before leaving. Unfortunately these test beds did not work in the drought conditions and so Test #2 beds are to be installed in September 2019 when the students return.
