Reconciliation Action Plan
Greater Sydney Parklands is committed to working towards reconciliation with our Traditional Custodians and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities on and with Country, and to share this reconciliation journey with all our park communities across Greater Sydney.
Our Reflect Reconciliation Action Plan is Greater Sydney Parklands’ first step in implementing Reconciliation Australia’s reconciliation action plan framework. The plan was developed by staff, Aboriginal consultants, Traditional Custodians and Reconciliation Australia. It draws on the knowledge and expertise of the Indigenous communities who live, work and are connected to the Country on which our parks are located.
Acknowledgement of Country
Greater Sydney Parklands acknowledges the Traditional Custodians of the lands, waters and sky upon which the parklands are located and pays respect to the Elders of these lands – past, present and emerging.
We recognise First Nations peoples’ unique cultural and spiritual relationships to place and their rich contribution to society. We acknowledge the rights and interests of First Nations peoples to be involved in the ongoing management of these traditional lands. We work in a respectful manner with Traditional Custodians, local Aboriginal land councils and the First Nations communities of Greater Sydney.
We support their custodianship of the natural and cultural heritage of parklands so that these are places where First Nations peoples feel socially, culturally and economically included.
