MRSG Aboriginal Statement

Aboriginal Statement

Macedon Ranges Sustainability Group acknowledges that the Macedon Ranges has a strong and proud Aboriginal history, with complex ownership and land stewardship systems that stretch back many thousands of years. It pays respect to the Traditional Owners.

Macedon Ranges Sustainability Group recognises its shared commitment to protecting and enhancing the waters, land and air. We seek to deepen our understanding of water, plants, animals, and the environment by learning Aboriginal methodologies through engagement with First Nations representatives.

Acknowledgement of Country

Today, we are gathered on the land of the <specific Traditional Owner group> People. I want to pay my respects to their Elders, past and present, and to any Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander people who may be here today.
