Supporting the Budj Bim Rangers

For more than a decade, First Peoples Agriculture Service (FPAS) has supported the Budj Bim Rangers to strengthen Winda‑Mara Aboriginal Corporation’s (WMAC) beef cattle enterprise on Gunditjmara Country. This long-term partnership has included targeted workshops on:

• low stress stock handling
• beef marketing
• biosecurity management

We have also worked with the rangers to develop a whole-farm plan for WMAC’s Kooreelah property. This included:

• land classing and soil mapping
• pasture management, including rotational and deferred grazing for native grass production
• farm water supply design
• climate change trends and projections for the Chetwynd area
• drought and dry-season planning, including emergency management.

Our partnership with the Budj Bim Rangers is on-going.
