About the Presenter 

LeLarnie Hatfield is the Language and Cultural Officer at Darumbal Enterprises. LeLarnie works within schools teaching Darumbal language and culture, and also manages out-of-school programs with non-Indigenous and Indigenous people.

Darumbal Enterprise works hard to maintain and ensure our Cultural Heritage Management and Cultural Significant sites are protected for the future of Darumbal People. The primary objective of Darumbal Enterprises is the management of cultural resources with Darumbal country. This objective is based in the traditional relationship that the Darumbal community has with its homelands, and is a continuation of traditional responsibilities held within the scope of our traditional lores and customs. Business relates mainly to new developments in the Rockhampton, Marlborough, Capricorn Coast, Westwood and Raglan areas. As development proponents work to advance their projects, they are often required by legislation to manage cultural resources and deal with the traditional owners in relation to Native Title.
