Western Cape Communities Trust & Western Cape Communities Coordinating Committee

The Western Cape Communities Trust (WCCT) and the Western Cape Communities Coordinating Committee (WCCCC) are integral to the Western Cape Communities Co-Existence Agreement (WCCCA), an Indigenous Land Use Agreement established in March 2001. This agreement involves eleven Traditional Owner Groups, four Shire Councils, Rio Tinto, the Queensland State Government, and the Cape York Land Council. The WCCT manages funds from Rio Tinto and the Queensland Government, supporting community development initiatives for the Traditional Owner Groups. The WCCCC monitors and reviews the WCCCA to ensure all parties fulfill their obligations. Located at Lot 21 Kamenjarin Drive, Evans Landing, Weipa, QLD 4874, the Trusts serve as a vital resource for the local Indigenous communities, promoting sustainable advancement and development.
