We are proud to share Darebin City Council's ongoing commitment to the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community. This dedication is rooted in respect, recognition, and a shared journey towards reconciliation that honors the rich culture and history of the traditional custodians of this land.
This commitment involves active engagement with the Aboriginal community through various initiatives, including action plans that formalize our relationship and support social cohesion. You can expect a respectful approach that acknowledges the significance of Aboriginal culture and promotes understanding within the wider community.
The Council's work includes the implementation of the Darebin Anti-Racism Strategy, consultations such as the Batman conversations regarding place names, and educational resources on respectful terminology. These efforts are designed to foster inclusivity and celebrate Aboriginal heritage.
Darebin City Council offices are located at 274 Gower Street, Preston, VIC 3072. The Council welcomes community members to engage via phone, email, or social media platforms. Accessibility services are also available to support diverse community needs.
The Council acknowledges the Wurundjeri Woi-wurrung people as the traditional owners of the land. Elders past, present, and future play a vital role in maintaining culture and language. The commitment is ongoing and central to the wellbeing and self-determination of Aboriginal communities.
This is an ongoing community commitment with no specific booking or cost involved. The Council encourages community participation and dialogue to strengthen relationships and promote reconciliation.
