Negotiation tables

A negotiation table is a formal meeting that brings together government and community decision-makers to:

• share information
• explore, debate, progress, negotiate or resolve complex issues that need cross-government and/or government-community action or decision making
• incorporate the communities' and government's understanding of issues and proposals to reach agreement on:
  • priorities and desired outcomes
  • commitment to and responsibility for specific actions
• develop, formalise, review and/or renegotiate a Local Indigenous Partnership Agreement (LIPA)
• review and report on actions arising from previous negotiation tables
• acknowledge and celebrate progress, successes and achievements to date
