At the Ordinary Council Meeting held on Wednesday 28 May 2025 Council endorsed to place the Draft Reconciliation Action Plan on public exhibition for 28 days from Thursday 29 May 2025 to Wednesday 25 June 2025.

The draft plan is attached.

All public submissions received during the public exhibition period will be considered as part of the final draft document that will return to Council for endorsement to submit to Reconciliation Australia for final approval.

Background:

Armidale Regional Council is committed to Closing the Gap between Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people and the general population. Council’s Community Strategic Plan identifies a range of services and infrastructure which will help the whole community to achieve its long-term vision, but Council acknowledges additional programs, resources and services are required to achieve better outcomes for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people.

A Reconciliation Action Plan is used to lay the foundations and prepare a workplace for future reconciliation plans and reconciliation initiatives. Once endorsed by Council and Reconciliation Australia, it will be published on the Reconciliation Australia website as a public commitment to improved local outcomes for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people across our region.

Following a period of community engagement in 2024, a Draft Reconciliation Action Plan has been created, following the templates provided by Reconciliation Australia.

The draft plan is attached.
