This resource will help to guide Local Governments in building their capability to engage meaningfully with local Aboriginal communities, highlighting best practice examples of reconciliation and Aboriginal engagement.
Reconciliation WA, WALGA, Department of the Premier and Cabinet, Department of Planning, Lands and Heritage and the Department of Local Government, Industry Regulation and Safety have all partnered to deliver a resource that brings together each agencies key documentation, advice, approvals, and processes on one accessible site. The collaboration reflects the WA State Government’s commitment to advancing the reconciliation movement, with Reconciliation WA’s leadership as the movement’s State peak body.
