The City of Melbourne respectfully acknowledges the Traditional Owners of the land we govern, the Wurundjeri Woi-wurrung and Bunurong / Boon Wurrung peoples of the Kulin and pays respect to their Elders past and present. We acknowledge and honour the unbroken spiritual, cultural and political connection they have maintained to this unique place for more than 2000 generations.
We accept the invitation in the Uluru Statement from the Heart and are committed to walking together to build a better future.
Today we are proud to say that Melbourne is a significant gathering place for all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.
First Nations Committee
The City of Melbourne is proud of the contribution First Nations peoples have and continue to make to Melbourne / Narrm.
We are establishing the First Nations Committee as a key mechanism for First Nations peoples to have a direct say in the work of Council. This builds on the strength of existing mechanisms and will allow First Nations peoples to self-determine priorities.
Expressions of interest for the First Nations Committee are now closed.
