The Great Southern Development Commission (GSDC) has also been a pivotal foundation partner of the Badgebup Aboriginal Corporation. Providing an initial grant to undertake local community consultation necessary for the development of the Business Plan, the GSDC working with ILSC, has help BAC lay its foundations for land enterprises. Recognising BAC's contribution to achieving positive social, economic and environmental outcomes for the Great Southern, it is anticipated that the GSDC will be a major partner in the years to come through its funding programs and extensive regional business and community networks.
