Elders Push for Local Power on APY Lands | Adelaide News

Elders on the APY Lands are demanding a radical overhaul of governance, calling for the repeal of the Land Rights Act and replacing it with a local Aboriginal corporation that empowers community councils to make decisions. They argue the current executive board disempowers locals and ignores unique cultural knowledge, while their own corporation, Warraritja, already runs aged care as a model. But the existing APY board and state government fiercely oppose the plan, calling it unrealistic and a step backward, as the region grapples with recent instability and leadership disputes.
