Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Supporting Plan
Council has made a commitment to develop an Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Supporting Plan as part of our broader Social Strategy. The plan will outline our organisations commitment in working towards achieving reconciliation, developing stronger community relationships and creating meaningful opportunities with our local Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities.
The plan will be developed in partnership with local knowledge holders, stakeholders and the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities. Through engagement and collaboration, we aim to foster mutual respect and understanding.
For more information about the commitment to developing this plan, please contact our Community & Recreation Planning Team on 02 4934 9700 or community.team@maitland.nsw.gov.au.
