About the Reconciliation Action Plan
The Reconciliation Action Plan is a two year plan that converts good intentions into actions. It focuses on achieving positive outcomes in the three areas of: Relationships, Respect and Opportunities. The Plan is developed in collaboration with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Consultative Committee, Reconciliation Action Plan Working Group, residents, services, community organisations and other key stakeholders.

The plan aims to achieve greater equality, create social change and economic opportunities for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Australians.

The Cumberland Reconciliation Action Plan will help Council to:

• Build stronger relationships with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people based on respect and trust.
• Understand and value Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander culture and heritage.
• Support all to participate equally in a range of life opportunities.
• There has always been a strong and vibrant Aboriginal community in Cumberland and we celebrate this as an important part of our diversity.
