PROJECTS
We would like to acknowledge and pay respect to the Traditional Owners of the land on which we work, the Kaurna People of the Adelaide Plains and other First Nations People. It is upon their ancestral lands that our projects take shape.
We pay respect to Elders past and present including their cultural heritage, spiritual beliefs, and relationship with the land, which are of continuing importance today.
We further acknowledge the contributions and important role that Aboriginal people continue to play within our shared and evolving community.
