Circular Head Aboriginal Corporation (CHAC) represents Aboriginal people in Circular Head, delivering holistic services that support individuals, families, and the wider Aboriginal community across North West Tasmania.
CHAC has recently purchased land on Peerapper Country within the West Point State Reserve, marking a significant step toward community self-determination. With support from the Indigenous Land and Sea Corporation (ILSC), the land was acquired to overcome access limitations under Tasmania’s Lands Act and to return cultural responsibility and opportunity to the community.
CHAC plans to deliver existing and new programs on Country that support healing and wellbeing, including youth prevention and diversion, mental health, prisoner rehabilitation, aged care visits, and language revitalisation. Work is underway to establish access to the property in consultation with Parks and Wildlife, with further development needed to ensure the site is safe and usable. A proposed ranger program will support environmental care, employment, skill development, and reconnection to Country.2Rochelle Godwin, Communications & Engagement Manager, e-mail to Australian Indigenous Governance Institute, 6 November 2025.
