Our vision for Reconciliation

Campbelltown City Council envisions a future where reconciliation is a shared journey, and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples have equal access to opportunities and resources within Campbelltown. 

Our vision is for a community where Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples' strength, resilience, connection to Country and cultural richness are understood, respected and valued and we walk together towards a shared and inclusive future. We recognise the importance of ensuring equitable opportunities, fostering a community that celebrates diversity, and upholding the principles of social justice, equity, access, participation, and rights.

This Reconciliation Action Plan will continue to help guide the people in our organisation to embrace and act upon reconciliation in alignment with our values of teamwork, respect, trust, integrity and optimism. Our aim is for reconciliation to be part of everyone's business within Council, building upon Council's Statement of Commitment to Aboriginal People.

Aboriginal Statement 

Dharawal people walked in harmony with this land, trod lightly and paid respect to the Elders who went before them. They welcomed people from many nations to gather and enjoy the sustenance of their fertile land, the land between two rivers. We acknowledge the Dharawal people, the traditional custodians of this land. During the time of British contact, the Dharawal people continued to welcome new visitors and made attempts to live in harmony. The Appin Massacre has forever changed the Dharawal people. Many who survived fled to neighbouring country and some have not returned. We acknowledge the ongoing impact of the Appin Massacre.
