Mapoon Aboriginal Shire Council

This land mass stretches from the southern bank of Skardon River,in the north, to the northern banks of the Pennefather River, in the south, and incorporates the lower delta reaches of the Ducie River and Wenlock River systems.

Sections of the trust area are dissected by the Comalco Mining lease, now owned by Rio Tinto.

Land conditions and environment are diverse and rich in cultural, ecological and mineral wealth. Work is progressing to ensure appropriate protection and management arrangements are developed and implemented, to ensure short and long term benefits.

The Mapoon Land and Sea Management office is the responsibility of the Council responsible for managing these lands
