Share your ideas on reconciliation
What does reconciliation mean to you?
We are asking Bayside residents to share their views on how we develop innovative strategies to empower Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples as we better protect and promote Indigenous cultural heritage, and the wellbeing of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in Bayside.
The consultation is part of Council’s Innovate Reconciliation Action Plan [RAP]. Feedback will be open until Sunday 12 December 2021.
The consultation process is the first phase of a longer term undertaking to commit to building respectful relationships with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and to work together with the Bayside community to create a better future for all. The Innovate RAP is based around three core pillars set by Reconciliation Australia; relationships, respect and opportunities.
Members of the community are invited to share their ideas on what Council can do to build and strengthen relationships, show respect and improve opportunities for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in Bayside.
Council is working with local Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community members, Traditional Owners and the wider community to develop the Innovate RAP.
The consultation is an opportunity for the community to share their ideas on how we can acknowledge and promote Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander histories, cultures and protocols.
Through the Innovate RAP, Council aims to plan and create opportunities for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples to create a culturally safe and thriving community.
Council will also focus on developing and strengthening relationships with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, engaging staff and stakeholders in reconciliation, developing and piloting innovative strategies to empower Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.
