To protect Barada Kabalbara Yetimarala country, culture and rights while creating opportunities for current and future generations through respectful partnerships and sustainable development.
Our Country
The Barada Kabalbara Yetimarala People’s native title area is located in Central Queensland, spanning significant land and waters across the region.
Our Country extends across areas within the Isaac, Mackay and surrounding regional local government areas. It includes land intersecting key regional centres, major transport corridors, pastoral leases and resource development areas.
For the Barada Kabalbara Yetimarala People, this land is not defined by boundaries alone. It carries cultural authority, ancestral connection and ongoing responsibility.
Bulgan Tara Yanal Aboriginal Corporation carries the responsibility of managing and protecting these rights, ensuring that cultural heritage is respected and that engagement within our native title area occurs with proper consultation and recognition.
