In Hawai'i there is a trend towards the traditional Ahupuaʻa concept of land management, particularly with watershed planning. (http://www2.hawaii.edu/~aoude/ES350/SPIH_vol39/16Minerbi.pdf).
Additionally, through the establishment of the Indigenous Planning Working Group (IPWG), the Planning Institute of Australia has taken steps towards the inclusion of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people in planning policy and education in Australia. (https://www.planning.org.au/documents/item/2381). These groups have traditionally been omitted from all planning processes. IPWG has launched a Reconciliation Action Plan to "offer the assistance of the planning profession to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people and communities in fulfilling their needs and aspirations."(http://www.urbanplan.com.au/PIA%20RAP%20Launch%20Draft.pdf)
In Australia, Land Councils are regional organizations representing Indigenous Australians. While the primary function is to advocate for traditional land rights, their work extends to community development, In 2009 the Central Land Council published a Community Development Plan framework.
