What is Hydro Tasmania currently doing to support Tasmanian Aboriginal people?
We're developing an Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Commitment Statement and Action Plan.
The actions will reflect the needs and wants of Tasmanian Aboriginal people in key areas like jobs, land management, access to Country and cultural awareness and safety.
The consultation document includes more information on our commitment pillars and example actions to give you a better idea what we have in mind.
We'll share consultation opportunities and provide regular updates on this site - so bookmark it, share it and regularly check back in.
Our staff are regularly out on Country, managing land, waterways and operating the power stations. The varied tasks they do include:
Aboriginal heritage surveys
routine water quality checks
threatened species surveys
rehabilitation activities including tree planting, erosion control, drainage improvements
weed eradication
bushfire management
If you're interested in developing your skills in these areas or keen to get out on Country, email Greg.
Stay tuned for stories from the field - two young palawa men recently joined us to prepare for the Tarraleah Redevelopment.
📅 What's coming up
We regularly maintain and improve our assets to keep them running smoothly. The Tasmanian Aboriginal Heritage Council and Aboriginal Heritage Officers play an important role in completing heritage surveys to prepare for these works.
We welcome your interest, input and involvement these projects.
