We recognise all Aboriginal peoples and Torres Strait Islander peoples as the first people on the lands and waters across this sacred landscape where we live and work. We recognise all Elders, past and present, for their ongoing deep cultural and spiritual connections to this ancient landscape. We will continue to walk side by side and build a stronger future for all.
