Bathurst Regional Council adopted the inaugural Aboriginal Commitment Strategy, Ngumbaay - Version One (1) in August 2022.
For more than three years, the Aboriginal Commitment Strategy has guided Council in continuing its strong connection with Bathurst's Aboriginal community and developing meaningful relationships with Aboriginal people, organisations and stakeholders.
Following the second review of the inaugural Aboriginal Commitment Strategy, Council completed consultation throughout November 2024. Council yarned face to face with approximately 55 Aboriginal community members and received 20 anonymous consultation flag cards from community participants. Meaningful conversations were also held with Elders, stakeholders and Recognised Aboriginal Parties including the Bathurst Local Aboriginal Land Council and Wiradyuri Traditional Owners Central West Aboriginal Corporation. From this consultation process, Council has respectfully developed an updated strategy, Bathurst Regional Council's Aboriginal Commitment Strategy, Bula - Version Two (2).
Council is seeking feedback on the strategy.
