actions to come out of the Roundtable. These comments, and all the earlier discussions, were used to come up with the outcomes listed later in this report. Closing statements were made by Miriuwung traditional owner Des Hill, Karajarri leader Mervyn Mulardy Junior, and Nyikina-Mangala leader Anthony Watson. Tom Birch (KLC Chairman), Don Henry and Rosemary Hill (ACF), and Craig Phillips (EK Chairman) thanked everybody for organising and being part of the Roundtable, and presented gifts to the overseas guests. The Roundtable was closed by Laurie Shaw and Neville Sharpe. People were invited to have a look at the Ngurrara Canvas, which was unrolled outside on the lawn. Artists and senior Aboriginal people gave an explanation of the painting. SIGNIFICANCE OF THE ROUNDTABLE This Roundtable was a very important event in planning for the development of the <strong>Kimberley</strong>. The forum was the first gathering of its kind in the region, bringing together a wide range of people, including many who are engaged in activities and enterprises that build up and look after the cultural and natural values of the region. The Roundtable came up with key principles for appropriate development in the Fitzroy Valley and the Canning Basin. These principles can be applied across the <strong>Kimberley</strong>. The Roundtable came up with some key actions that would help to make sure these principles were turned into strong and sustainable developments for the region. The Roundtable promoted the sharing of information and building of relationships and networks between all people and organisations. 16
THE NEXT STEPS During the Roundtable itself, and in the evaluation survey that people filled in at the end of the conference, people said that there are too many meetings with lots of talking, but that is usually the end of it. People wanted to see some results coming from this Roundtable, in two main areas: • Clear reports and information made available to the people who were at the Roundtable, and to other interested people. • Steps taken to begin turning all the talk into real actions. The information from the Roundtable should be made available so that people can use it to start working on the actions. It was agreed that the Roundtable organizers would put out the following information and documents: • A ‘Statement of Principles’ developed from the workshops and the main sessions. • A ‘List of Actions’ developed from the workshops and the main sessions. • A short report on what happened at the Roundtable, and how the Principles and Actions were worked out. This was to be produced as quickly as possible. • A long report containing everything that happened at the Roundtable, including all the presentations and papers, to be produced within six months. • All the presentations and papers to be made be available on the internet at http://www. klc.org.au/rndtable_docs.html It was agreed that information and ideas from the Roundtable should be taken back to the community through visits and information sessions, and that a short DVD of the Roundtable would be made for community people. The organisers of the Roundtable agreed to look for funding to do these two tasks. People at the Roundtable also agreed that anyone could start moving forward with the ideas and actions developed at the Roundtable. It was decided that the organising partners could start moving forward with the priority actions, and that people themselves would decide what steps were appropriate to keep the initiative going. 17
