The Western Cape Communities Trust (WCCT), managing Indigenous land use agreements in Queensland, faced major hurdles in distributing royalties effectively to shareholders across remote communities. Their system relied on manual records and paper-based identity verification, which posed significant barriers for community members lacking standard identification like passports or driver’s licences. This outdated approach complicated timely, accurate payments, hindering WCCT’s ability to support scholarships, grants, and infrastructure initiatives vital to the region.

This outdated approach complicated timely, accurate payments, hindering WCCT’s ability to support scholarships, grants, and infrastructure initiatives vital to the region.

With the new Royalties Distribution App, WCCT’s monthly royalty payments are now distributed accurately and securely. What was once a laborious, paper-heavy process has become efficient, enabling shareholders to access grants and apply for funds in just a few clicks.

This innovative system has brought transparency and accuracy to royalty payments, empowering WCCT to fulfil its commitments under the Indigenous Land Use agreement with confidence.

HutSix’s partnership with WCCT continues to evolve, with a focus on ongoing enhancements that increase functionality and accessibility. Current efforts include integrating the CRM with accounting software for seamless invoicing, automating reports to support strategic decision-making, and enabling offline grant applications for remote communities.

Our goal is to ensure WCCT’s system remains adaptable, supporting the community’s development and providing a foundation for long-term growth and inclusivity.
