Benarrawa Community Development Association 1.39

Benarrawa Community Development Association acknowledges the Traditional Owners of this land. Benarrawa is an Aboriginal word, most probably Jagera, which stands for Oxley Creek. Benarrawa CDA adopted this name with permission from some Jagera Elders and the Brisbane Council of Elders.

Benarrawa is a small and beautiful incorporated not-for-profit community organisation that predominantly uses community development methodology in working with local people across southwest Brisbane to together create, develop and sustain positive initiatives which address issues of poverty, social and economic isolation and exclusion, loneliness, and general neighbourhood concerns.

"Benarrawa is flowing. We dream that the people will listen to the land and to each other." - Benarrawa Dreaming Statement
