MRSG Aboriginal Statement

Aboriginal Statement

Macedon Ranges Sustainability Group recognises that the Macedon Ranges has a strong and proud Aboriginal history with complex ownership and land stewardship systems stretching back many thousands of years. It pays respect to the Traditional Owners.

Macedon Ranges Sustainability Group recognises its shared commitment to protecting and enhancing the waters, land and air. We seek to enhance our knowledge of water, plants, animals, and the environment, by learning Aboriginal methodology, through engaging with representatives of the First Nations.

Acknowledgement of Country

Today we are gathered on the land of the <specific Traditional Owner group> People. I would like to pay my respects to their Elders past and present, and to any Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander people who may be here today.
