This year, we're marking the occasion with the adoption of our new Innovate Reconciliation Action Plan 2026–28, which outlines how the council will translate its reconciliation commitments into practical, accountable actions that strengthen relationships, deepen respect, and create meaningful opportunities with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.

We'll also celebrate local reconciliation champions when the Mayor presents the Reconciliation Week Recognition Awards on Wednesday 3 June, recognising individuals, groups, community organisations and businesses making a positive contribution to reconciliation in our community.
