Shared Responsibility Agreement
The Punju Njamal community is an extended family group that want to start farming again to supply their own food and eventually sell produce.
The community has signed an SRA that will re-establish their farm, upgrade the irrigation systems and stop the community’s tip polluting a nearby evaporative salt pond.
The community will start growing its own food, and maintain all equipment and pumping systems. Residents will also clean up the community, and fix up and maintain the tip.
The Australian Government will provide funds for seedlings, tools and fencing and provide training in farming and tip-management. Indigenous Community Volunteers will provide technical assistance and advice in sustainable farming techniques.
