The power that comes from individual desire to improve income and family prospects by having choice and access to development opportunities — including employment and private enterprise — will be underpinned by land reform, availability of investment, necessary infrastructure, human capital investments that enables local and regional economic development, as well as supporting mobility and economic participation beyond the community.

Mentoring and Up-Skilling

Business support services for local people will be available which will provide mentoring, skills development activities and business loans.

These strong networks and support services will aid business operations.

There are currently business support services in some communities, such as those provided by Balkanu Cape York Business Development Corporation, which has been essential in supporting Indigenous entrepreneurs in communities.

For more information please visit the Balkanu Cape York Development Corporation website.

This initiative is designed, developed and delivered by the Queensland Government and the Australian Government.
