Reconciliation Action Plan

Our Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP)

Healthy Land & Water’s comprehensive Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP) is a practical guide to how the organisation will deliver meaningful changes across the business in support of reconciliation.

It is an action plan designed to help bring our reconciliation commitments to life. It had been endorsed by Reconciliation Australia as an "Innovation" plan.

 

Innovation, empowerment

The RAP is a major milestone in Healthy Land & Water’s journey of reconciliation with the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community and bolstering our ability to support further empowerment of First Nation’s peoples across South East Queensland.

We’ve had a long-standing appreciation for the role of Traditional Owners in managing Country, and now have a living document detailing a comprehensive range of actions that we commit to progressing to enable increased Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander leadership in managing the region’s cultural landscapes.

The comprehensive range of actions is expected to lead to increased employment and investment in projects that involve Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander priorities relating to issues such as fire management, wildlife protection, cultural heritage, and land restoration.

The approach from Healthy Land & Water also supports a statewide Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Participation Principles of Practice framework that has been cooperatively developed by all 12 Regional Natural Resource Management Groups in Queensland.

Progress is underway but there is still much to do
