Restoring Connections is a highly innovative community-driven project that involves Noongar communties across the South Coast in identifying, protecting and restoring culturally significant places at risk of degredation. Through this involvement, work has continued to enable on-ground restoration and preservation works at site of cultural and natural significance.
Restoring Connections has engaged and supported the Noongar communties of the South Coast region in natural resource management and heritage projects, and provided technical expertise as required. The project has assisted community groups to identify and access additional sources of funding to scope and develop successful enterprises.

Over 2008/09, the program has developed and delivered 15 activities as identified by Aboriginal communities, and has assisted a total of 42 community projects. Projects have included:
