Reconciliation action plan

Takeaways

• As a contemporary custodian of the City of Sydney, we express deep respect for the traditional custodians and seeks to draw on the sophisticated, resilient and continuous culture of this place. We acknowledge we all stand on sacred Gadigal land.
• This continues our reconciliation journey and is one way we’re supporting the needs and aspirations of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities. The community told us the important focus areas are anti-discrimination, respect for cultural protocols and strengthening community relations.
• The reconciliation action plan supports recognition of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander histories, cultures and communities, ensuring this fundamental part of our global city is celebrated by everyone. We invite all Australians to be part of this important narrative.
• This reconciliation action plan is a call to action for the people in our organisation to make a stand for reconciliation, guided by our values: make a difference, better together and embrace possibilities. It is a commitment to create a culturally safe workplace, and to respect and celebrate Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures and knowledge in our daily work.
• By doing this work to grow and challenge ourselves, we aim to transform our organisation and our communities. This plan seeks to make reconciliation everyone’s business in our organisation.
