RAP Working Group members will be selected by NRSDC toachieve a broad representation of the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people and groups living in the Bundjalung,Yaegl, and Gumbainggirr Nations, within the NRSDC service area (Grafton to Tweed). This is intended to ensure gender, age and location diversity within the group.
