Toowoomba Regional Council has endorsed the development of a Reconciliation Action Plan in collaboration with Reconciliation Australia.<\/p>\n

Cr James O\u2019Shea said he was proud to support the initiative which he said was a great step forward for Council and the community.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe development of a Reconciliation Action Plan is an important part of the process as we work towards developing and strengthening relationships with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in our community,\u201d Cr O\u2019Shea said.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s not just about building respect and trust, but it\u2019s also about proactively working together to bring about positive change and equality.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur region has an incredible depth of history and there\u2019s so much we can learn from our Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe plan is to be established, in consultation with Reconciliation Australia, who will provide strategic feedback and endorsement once finalised.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhile developing the plan is a formal process, at the heart of it is the desire to connect with and empower our Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.<\/p>\n

\u201cFormalising this commitment will help Council set tangible actions and remain accountable on our journey toward reconciliation.\u201d<\/p>\n

Cr Bill Cahill, a\u00a0proud Awabakal descendant, said he was pleased to be involved in this significant milestone.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cThe importance of this piece of work can\u2019t be understated,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cReconciliation isn\u2019t something that is attained then forgotten. It\u2019s about developing respectful and trusting relationships between all Australian people that becomes part of our work and everyday life.<\/p>\n

\u201cCouncil staff and key stakeholders will be engaged throughout the process and implementation of the action strategies identified will be a whole of Council approach.<\/p>\n

\u201cI encourage my fellow Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander colleagues to take every opportunity to become involved to create a better future for us all.<\/p>\n

\u201cTo ensure the effectiveness of the Reconciliation Action Plan, it\u2019s important we engrain this methodology into our day-to-day activities. For example, in the planning space, let\u2019s give our staff the background and cultural information they need to incorporate these principles into all our planning processes.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe sooner this becomes part of our regular processes, the sooner we\u2019ll be able to create stronger relationships for everyone from all walks of life.\u201d<\/p>\n

The development of the TRC Reconciliation Action Plan is expected to take two years, with implementation of the final endorsed plan to be actioned over a three-to-five year period.<\/p>\n

Once accredited, Council will be required to report publicly to Reconciliation Australia each year on the progress of plan objectives.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
