1. Any Indigenous person who has resided in Bamaga for a period of five years or who resides in the Northern Peninsular Area (NPA) and is considered by the Bamaga Community to be a Bamaga person and/or at the discretion of the Board, any former residents of Bamaga who reside elsewhere for health, medical, educational or separate reasons and who have strong family ties to Bamaga.
  2. Any Bamaga based organisation, Indigenous Corporation, Club, Association or Business or religious body whose primary purpose is for the benefit of Bamaga residents. Exceptions will be considered from organisations set up to service the whole NPA including Bamaga.
  3. Any non-Bamaga or non-NPA based individual, organisation, Indigenous Corporation, Club, Association or Business or religious body with strong cultural and traditional tie to the Islander people of Bamaga whose aim is to further the Bamaga Community Fund’s purpose. Note that if the person has been away from Bamaga/NPA for more than 5 years, there is no longer any support for them or family. During the five years, per the policy there is a 50% reduction of support.
  4. In all cases, this is a policy guideline and still at the absolute discretion of the Board as to any support without reasons to be provided in relation to any decision.
