Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP)

Council’s reconciliation journey is one step closer with its inaugural Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP) now out for public exhibition.

The draft RAP sets out our actions and commitments to strengthen relationships, demonstrate respect and provide opportunities for Council to work more collaboratively with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities.

The RAP Framework

Reconciliation Australia’s RAP Framework provides organisations with a structured approach to advance reconciliation. There are four different types of RAP that an organisation can develop, and Council is beginning its RAP journey at the introductory Reflect level.

The Reflect level covers a 12-18 month period that prepares the organisation for future RAPs and reconciliation initiatives.
