Help guide Nillumbik’s path to reconciliation with First Nations people by joining our Reconciliation Action Plan Working Group.
Expressions of Interest are now open to join the group, which will help develop Council’s draft Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP), known as a Reflect RAP. Once Council endorses the RAP, the group will assist in overseeing its implementation for its 12-month duration.
A RAP is a formal commitment to support First Nations people's rights, culture, heritage, needs and aspirations. It will outline the shared approach Council will take to progress reconciliation and work alongside all Aboriginal people in Council services.
Initial community consultation earlier this year has already helped to inform the draft RAP. Following input from the RAP Working Group, the draft will go out for further community consultation in early 2024.
The working group will include up to 15 people and will include Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, members of the broader Nillumbik community and key stakeholders.
Apply at Participate Nillumbik. Expressions of interest close at 11.59pm on Thursday 16 November 2023. The first meeting of the working group will be held in early December.
