Abstract
A workshop was organised at the request of CLC on behalf of Aboriginal landowners to assist with strategies to develop horticulture on Aboriginal land in the Tennant Creek region. The lack of resource information on Aboriginal land to assist with any horticulture development was recognised at the very beginning of this process. It was also recognised that any development on Aboriginal land will require capital investment in the infrastructure development, particularly that of water, to attract joint venture partners who can bring production and marketing expertise to the development. A number of agencies were recognised to have a role to play to assist the CLC in its endeavours to develop Aboriginal land for horticulture. Horticulture development will provide economic and employment opportunities as well as horticulture produce for consumption on communities. This has not been possible in the past as many communities are in remote areas and unable to obtain fresh horticultural produce.,
