“Celebrating NAIDOC Week and the history, culture and achievements of our First Nations people continues to be an important part of Council’s Reconciliation Action Plan and Council Plan,” Macedon Ranges Shire Council’s Director Community, Maria Weiss said.

“I encourage our community to get along to the great events on offer, to broaden their knowledge and help us continue to work towards improved outcomes for our Traditional Owner groups and First Nations people.”
