Aboriginal Affairs

Welcome to the City of Yarra. Council acknowledges the Wurundjeri community as the first owners of this country. Today, they are still the custodians of the cultural heritage of this land.

Further to this, Council acknowledges there are other Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people who have lived, worked and contributed to the cultural heritage of Yarra.

Council adopted the Yarra Aboriginal Partnerships Plan, Wurundjeri Reconciliation and Social Justice, 2004-2008 during 2004. Download a copy of the plan, read about the creation of the Yarra River and check out Snapshots of Aboriginal Fitzroy inside Aboriginal Affairs.
