Bondini is a small Aboriginal community in Western Australia. It is located about 10 kilometers (6 miles) east of Wiluna. This area is part of the Mid West region. It is also within the Shire of Wiluna.
In 2001, a survey counted the people living in Bondini. There were 105 people in total. Out of these, 102 were Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people.
Understanding Native Title
Native title is a special legal right. It recognizes that Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people have traditional rights to their land and waters. These rights come from their traditional laws and customs.
The land where the Bondini community is located has a native title claim. This means the traditional rights of the local Aboriginal people to this land are recognized by Australian law. This recognition is important for their culture and heritage.
How Bondini is Governed
Every community needs a way to make decisions. This is called governance. Bondini does not have its own special council to represent the community.
Instead, the community is partly represented by a group called the Mid-west Employment Education Development Aboriginal Corporation. This group helps with important things like jobs and education for Aboriginal people in the region.
Planning for Bondini's Future
Communities often have plans for how they will grow and develop. This is called town planning. Bondini has a plan called "Bondini Layout Plan No.1."
This plan helps guide how the community's land will be used. It was created following rules from the State Planning Policy 3.2 for Aboriginal Settlements. The community agreed to the plan in 2012. The Western Australian Planning Commission also approved it in 2004.
You can find the maps and details of this plan online. They are on the Planning Western Australia's website.
