SERVICES

HOUSING
TLALC currently owns 10 rental properties and leases a further 10 from the Aboriginal Housing Office (AHO). These properties are currently managed by Ray White. We are registered with the NSW Local Scheme which holds us accountable to the housing management accreditation standards under which we operate.

AUSPICING OF FUNDS
Currently, TLALC receives grant funding for the operation and delivery of the Tamworth Opportunity Hub, Bumbira Art and Culture Program, Post-School Support Officer, Community Connector program, Walaaybaa Ranger Program, Bounce Back and Bounce Between programs and CAPO Place Based Partnership. Our outstanding 100% LMSS score allows us to confidently offer these services to a select group of organisations. These services generate revenue for us to reinvest in priority actions as identified by our membership through our Community, Land and Business Plan (CLBP).

LAND CLAIMS
We seek and submit Land Claims on Crown Land, and have that land transferred to our ownership in freehold title. Although there is an ongoing backlog with the Ministry at present, we are still active in providing this service.

CONFIRMATION OF ABORIGINALITY
Tamworth LALC can provide confirmation of Aboriginality to our members ONLY. The process is to fill out a New Membership Application form, submit to the LALC for consideration of members, and attend a member meeting to be accepted or denied. Please contact the staff at Tamworth LALC for information on how to obtain a New Membership Application Form.
