Indigenous Australians 

Local Implementation Plans 

Through the National Partnership Agreement on Remote Service Delivery (RSD), governments will progressively deliver facilities and services comparable to those which would be expected in any Australian town of similar size, location and need, to 29 priority remote Indigenous communities in five jurisdictions (NT, WA, QLD, SA and NSW).

To give effect to the RSD National Partnership Agreement in each of the 29 communities, governments and community members are working in partnership to develop Local Implementation Plans (LIPs) to guide future investment. These plans set out for each community agreed priorities, actions, responsibilities and commitments.

LIPs are living documents which will evolve over time as the various agreed actions are carried out and commitments delivered. This means that there will be continuing discussion and negotiation with each community about the vision for their future and how to achieve it, which will be expressed in further iterations of the LIPs.

Accessible versions of the first iteration of the LIP documents are being put online progressively. Access the live links below.
