Draft Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Community Action Plan

Over the past year, we have been talking to people to learn what should be included in Council’s next Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Community Action Plan.

We now have a draft Plan proposing 49 actions which will guide the next four years, and we would like your feedback.

The draft Plan acknowledges the rich local Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander histories and cultures within the local government area and builds on Council’s two previous Reconciliation Action Plans.

To assist Council in developing a comprehensive Plan with meaningful actions we welcome feedback and input from across the community on the draft Plan.
