DRAFT Aboriginal Partnership Plan - Community Engagement Strategy

The City of Launceston genuinely values its relationship with local Aboriginal people and community.

We foster a strong desire and responsibility to respond to their needs. This can include advocacy and facilitation roles regarding Aboriginal cultural heritage and its contemporary expression, health, wellbeing and economic issues.

For some time now, our Council has been on a journey of understanding and learning in this space. It is true that in the past, we have made mistakes and we acknowledge and apologise for that. But one thing we can promise is that we will continue to listen and we will continue to learn.

This Aboriginal Partnership Plan has been developed to form part of the Council’s Community Engagement Strategy. It outlines a focused and agreed approach for the City of Launceston to engage with our Aboriginal people in a culturally respectful and genuine manner.

We look forward to your comments and suggestions.
