Mulgumpin land returns to Traditional Owners
Minister for the Environment and the Great Barrier Reef and Minister for Science and Youth Affairs The Honourable Meaghan Scanlon
Protected areas on Mulgumpin (Moreton Island) will be transferred back to Traditional Owners after the Palaszczuk Government today passed landmark legislation.
Environment Minister Meaghan Scanlon said in recognition of the Quandamooka Peoples’ native title rights on Mulgumpin, the Palaszczuk Government would begin the formal process to return some 17,000 hectares of national and conservation parkland.
“The Quandamooka People have been custodians of Mulgumpin for thousands of years – protecting and managing the land for generations,” Ms Scanlon said.
