Reconciliation Action Plan

At its meeting on 14 October 2025, Council resolved to place the Draft Reconciliation Action Plan on public exhibition for a period of 28 days.

Reconciliation Australia is an independent not-for-profit organisation and is the national body that formally endorses Reconciliation Action Plans (RAP's). Hawkesbury City Council has achieved conditional approval of the attached RAP by Reconciliation Australia. Council has long term significant connections with its First Nations community; the Innovate level of RAP recommended by Reconciliation Australia is reflective of this relationship.

Council’s Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP) is identified as a key supporting plan for development and delivery under the Delivery Program 2025–2029, giving effect to Principal Activity

1.3.1 “Encourage and facilitate community partnerships and support services”

1.5.1 “Develop connections with our First Nations people to celebrate and preserve culture and stories” ensuring Council’s reconciliation commitments are embedded throughout Councils.
