Acknowledgement of Country

Council acknowledges the Traditional Custodians of this region, the Butchulla (Badtjala) to the east, and the Kabi Kabi (Gubbi Gubbi) to the west. We recognise the cultural and spiritual practices of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples across our nation, and their continuing connection to the lands in which we live and work today. We pay our respects to all elders past, present and emerging.
