Our Reconciliation Action Plan
Our journey
Our work begins with respect for Country and its Custodians. We are committed to deep listening, nurturing meaningful connections to place and each other. In partnership with First Nations peoples, we aim to create enduring spaces, understand cultures with empathy and integrity, and promote stewardship empowering future generations.
For many years, we have had the opportunity to be guided by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people on many successful projects and it is with immense pride that we contiune our formal reconciliation journey through the implementation of our Innovate Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP).
Through this RAP we commit to embedding a deeper understanding of Country with our staff, and to increase the inclusion and participation of First Nations Peoples in the design and planning process.
We are actively working with our staff, clients and collaborators to develop their awareness of, and respect for, First Nations histories, cultures and injustices in alignment with our organisational values which emphasise accountability and responsibility in society and the environment.
We are proud to share our Innovate RAP with you and welcome you to get in touch and share your thoughts and learnings in this area.
This RAP will continue to build cultural understanding within our organisation and focus on building relationships. Key objectives include:
- Building awareness of career opportunities in the built environment for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, both within
our organisation and via other pathways. - Conducting project work and relationship building based on the principles of our County Vision Statement.
- Developing and embedding a Design Charter, with First Nations guidance, to
acknowledge and support First Nations peoples and cultures in our projects. - Promoting First Nations land management practices and understanding in our project work.
