About us

The Wagyl Kaip Southern Noongar Aboriginal Corporation (WKSN AC) was formed as a result of the South West Native Title Settlement (Settlement). WKSN AC has been established to assist the Noongar people from the Wagyl Kaip & Southern Noongar area to protect and promote Noongar culture and to manage land and waters within their country. WKSN AC is party to one of six Indigenous Land Use Agreements (ILUA) that comprise the Settlement.

Wagyl Kaip & Southern Noongar people are the Traditional owners of an approximately 52,246 sq km region and includes the towns of Boyup Brook, Gnowangerup, Walpole, Denmark, Mt Barker, Cranbrook, Tambellup, Katanning, Jerramungup, Ravensthorpe, Hopetoun, Bremer Bay and Albany.

One of the cornerstones of the Settlement is the establishment of the Noongar Land Estate (NLE). The NLE comprises 320,000 hectares of land allocated as reserve or freehold tenure for cultural or economic development purposes.



The WKSN AC will hold and manage a significant amount of NLE Cultural land that is intended to provide significant opportunities for the Noongar community to achieve sustainable economic, social, and cultural outcomes.

WKSN currently has around 40 staff across a diverse range of job roles, designed to meet all the needs of the organisation.
