The {\textquoteleft}scoping remote northern Australia resilience{\textquoteright} project is part of a larger suite of Bushfire and Natural Hazards CRC projects being undertaken through Charles Darwin University in collaboration with the North Australian Land \& Sea
Management Alliance (NAILSMA) and the Aboriginal Research Practitioners Network (ARPNet{\textemdash}a collective of Indigenous community researchers). Two main sub-projects under scoping resilience are: Payments for Ecosystem Services and Asset Assessment, and Governance Models for Indigenous communities. Collectively, these projects aim to promote enhanced understanding of the special circumstances concerning resilience issues in remote locations, and to identify culturally appropriate governance arrangements and enterprise opportunities that contribute to community resilience.

We collectively report the progress of our project work conducted during the financial year, 2016-2017, as below:
1. Research analyses, activities and assessments undertaken to assess the value of ecosystem services in northern Australia

2. Research and planning activities undertaken for developing the Governance models for Indigenous communities

1. Payment for Ecosystem Services:

2. Governance models
