What First Nations Bailai, Gurang, Gooreng Gooreng & Taribelang Bunda Peoples does

First Nations Bailai, Gurang, Gooreng Gooreng & Taribelang Bunda Peoples (FNBGGGTB) is a community-controlled Aboriginal corporation representing four Traditional Owner groups across the Port Curtis Coral Coast region of Queensland, Australia. Founded in 2011 and headquartered in Bundaberg Central, it operates through three corporate entities: the FNBGGGTB Aboriginal Corporation RNTBC (the Prescribed Body Corporate holding Native Title rights), the Port Curtis Coral Coast Trust (PCCC Trust), and the FNBGGGTB Development Corporation (DevCo). Its core mandate is the management of Native Title, Future Act, and Cultural Heritage matters across the Bundaberg, Gladstone, and North Burnett regions, including administration of the largest Traditional Use of Marine Resources Agreement (TUMRA) in Australia, which was reaccredited in April 2019 for 10 years and covers 26,386 square kilometres of sea country from Burrum Heads to Curtis Island.

Beyond statutory rights management, the organization delivers a portfolio of community services — education grants and scholarships, funeral assistance, white goods support, age pension guidance, employment and training programs, and community events such as the annual Dorrie Day careers expo and the Connected Beginnings / Jarjums Circle playgroup — to its Traditional Owner constituents. Technology footprint is limited to a WordPress-style website (pccctrust.com.au) and social channels (Facebook, Instagram, YouTube) used for community engagement; there is no software product, API, or commercial platform. The organization is non-profit, grant- and government-funded, with no commercial pricing model, and is staffed by 12 employees; revenue is not publicly disclosed.

Strategic engagement is conducted through formal co-management partnerships with the Australian and Queensland governments under the TUMRA framework, alongside research collaboration with the University of Queensland Heron Island Research Station (May 2025) and community partnerships with organisations such as CQID and Byellee Aboriginal Corporation. Minor engagement has also occurred with industrial counterparties including Rio Tinto (first meeting May 2022) and Sunwater (cultural awareness training November 2023), indicating gradual outreach to the regional industrial sector that operates within Traditional Owner country.
