Membership of Tamworth Local Aboriginal Land Council provides Aboriginal people with an opportunity to have a direct voice in the future of the organisation and the community it serves.

Members are invited to attend meetings held approximately every two months, where they receive updates on the activities of the Land Council, discuss important community issues, and contribute to decision-making processes. Members also play a key role in shaping the strategic direction of the organisation and providing feedback on priorities for the future.

In addition, the broader Aboriginal community is encouraged to participate in the development of TLALC's Community, Land and Business Plan, ensuring that local aspirations and community needs continue to guide our work.
