NAIDOC WEEK – ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF COUNTRY

Councillor Andrew Fechner (Chairperson) moved a procedural motion to move outside of standing orders to provide an acknowledgement of Country 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.

Ipswich City Council continues to support community initiatives that build strong and active communities and highlights the contributions made by First Nation’s people.

SPARK Ipswich showcases and celebrates the arts and culture of Ipswich and proudly features the outstanding works and achievements of First Nation’s artists, Sally Harrison, Kylie Hill and Rachael Sarra.

Whilst the NAIDOC Ipswich celebration has been postponed, several community organisations have been supported through funding initiatives, these include assistance with equipment that would allow them to work and deliver community led initiatives.

Community Development has provided two Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Mental Health First Aid training courses that support the upskilling of community that will in turn provide a strength-based approach when working with people in need. The Ipswich Library are launching a song lines project that enables the community to create digital landscapes using stories handed down through generations.

Council recognises the significance of highlighting the extraordinary talents and stories of our First Nations’ residents as it recognises the importance and position that arts and culture plays in the advancement of our City.
