NAIDOC WEEK – ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF COUNTRY
Councillor Marnie Doyle (Chairperson) moved the following acknowledgement of Country in celebration of NAIDOC Week:
I would like to begin today by acknowledging the traditional custodians of Country throughout Australia and recognise their continuing connection to land, waters and community. I pay my respect to their continuing culture and the contribution they make to the life of this city and this region. I honour the Elders, past, present and emerging and I extend my welcome to the Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander people who are present today for they hold the memories, the traditions, the culture and hopes of all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples across the nation.
Council engaged Black Drum Productions to consult local Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander residents to provide input into what elements could be part of the new structures or design layout in the Nicholas Street precinct.
The engagement allowed First Nations’ residents to share with the Ipswich community their experiences, rich culture and creative ideas on how the public space could be transformed. The report noted, “Activating the creativity and cultural heritage of the local Indigenous community brings the benefits of better design outcomes with local relevance and culturally safe places where people feel welcomed and respected”.
Council values the cultural skills and knowledge of the Indigenous community and incorporating culturally relevant art and design elements will transform how First Nations people engage with the redeveloped spaces and buildings.
