Regional Governance Debate in the Torres Strait

Mr Terence Whap
   

In this paper we discuss what our regional governance structure looks like today, what have been our main challenges and the kind of complexities we have encountered through the different models that have been proposed for regional governance in the Torres Strait.

We also discuss the progress made in building and sustaining our capacity for strong governance for Torres Strait Islanders. We conclude by highlighting what we have learnt through this process, which is giving our communities the opportunity to have their say in regional governance in the Torres Strait.
