Acknowledgment of Country

Suzie and the Ward 1 Labor team recognise the Blue Mountains is located within the Country of the Dharug and Gundungurra peoples. We acknowledge that Dharug and Gundungurra Traditional Owners have a continuous and deep connection to their Country and that this is of great cultural significance to Aboriginal people, both locally and in the region. We confirm that this land always was and always will be Aboriginal land.

We pay respects to Elders past and present while recognising the strength, capacity and resilience of past and present Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people in the Blue Mountains region.

We support Blue Mountains City Council’s Statement of Recognition and Commitment.
