City of Darwin's Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP) sets out actions that City of Darwin will undertake to promote understanding and reconciliation between First Nations People and non-First Nations People.
In Darwin, we are privileged to live, work, raise our children and call home a place that the Larrakia people have lived in and cared for, for more than 60,000 years.
Our RAP is a commitment to our staff and community to recognise the significant contributions of the Larrakia people in Darwin and to work collaboratively with Larrakia and all First Nations People to build a vibrant, creative, and inclusive community.
The Reconciliation Advisory Committee members comprise of community members, an Elected Member, representatives from peak bodies, health and legal services and the Federal Government. It builds on the foundations City of Darwin has already developed, through structured and deliverable actions across three core pillars:
- Relationships
- Respect
- Opportunities.
Through this RAP, City of Darwin is committed to addressing three key priorities:
- Creating social and economic benefits for Australia’s first peoples
- Providing youth-focused programs, employment, and support
- Building a culturally safe workplace and vibrant community.
