Interview with Anne Poelina by Carlien Donkor | Sustaining Intergenerational Guardianship and Equity for the Martuwarra Fitzroy River Catchment

As Chair of the Martuwarra (Fitzroy River) Council Anne shared how the MFRC has been established by senior elders, including Anne, to represent different parts of the River. The interview explores the history of the Council and its goals for holistic development based on what they call “forever” economies. Dr. Poelina explains the Council’s diverse ways of promoting intergenerational equity through the Youth Council, their conservation plan with the nine native title groups and the reason the Martuwarra (Fitzroy River) Council joined the Global Network of Water Museums (WAMU-NET) as a living museum. This interview also serves as an introduction to the Living Water Heritage project discussed in this issue of Blue Papers by Lachie Carracher. Blue Papers 2025 (Vol. 4 No. 1), pp. 66–75, 10.58981/bluepapers.2025.1.02
