First steps taken in long road to granting Aboriginal community control of historic sports ground

Boomanulla Oval is a step closer to returning to Aboriginal control after an interim management committee met for the first time to discuss the future of the culturally and historically significant site in Canberra's inner south.

The committee, which met on Tuesday, is made up of community and government members and will oversee the transition of the oval to Aboriginal community control, the government said.
