Aboriginal Community Plan - Bayikulinan

Consultation has now closed.

Thank you for your feedback on the Aboriginal Community Plan 'Bayikulinan' 2019-2023 (to act in the future).

The adopted plan launched at Council's NAIDOC celebrations July 2019 and is now being implemented.

The new plan outlines our key focus areas and identifies strategies and actions for Council to deliver over the next four years.

Some of these actions include:

• Assisting in the preparation of Swansea Heads boardwalk;
• Working collaboratively to develop a new wing of the Lake Macquarie City Art Gallery dedicated to contemporary Aboriginal art;
• Extending interpretive signage and artwork along the Fernleigh Awabakal Shared Track;
• Continuing to fund cultural programs such as NAIDOC Week;
• Assisting in developing an Aboriginal Cultural Centre; and
• Advocating for ways to revive Aboriginal language and cultural practices.
