Community Greening
Our Community Project acknowledges the Australian Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples of this nation. We acknowledge the traditional custodians of the lands on which our company is located and where we conduct our business. We pay our respects to ancestors and Elders, past and present. [Organisation] is committed to honouring Australian Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples’ unique cultural and spiritual relationships to the land, waters and seas and their rich contribution to society.
Aunty Lorraine and Aunty Narelle from Coomaditchie United Aboriginal Corporation were engaged last year by Wollongong City Council to upgrade the artwork on the Welcome Totems at the entrance to the Community Centre.
