Draft Reconciliation Action Plan

The City is excited to announce that it is embarking on developing a Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP).

Why develop a RAP? A RAP is a strategic document with practical steps and actions that directly relate to the overarching goals. It will set out how the City is committed to contribute to reconciliation with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. According to www.reconciliation.org the purpose of a RAP is "Based around the core pillars of relationships, respect and opportunities, RAPs provide tangible and substantive benefits for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, increasing economic equity and supporting First Nations self-determination."

The City's aim is for our RAP to support and enable us to collaborate and share knowledge, skills and expertise to ultimately build strong relationships with our Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community and to guide us in creating a culturally safe, celebrated and inclusive community.

This project will be delivered in multiple stages.
