We acknowledge and respect the Traditional Owners and First Nations people of the lands and waters of Wodonga and surrounds. We acknowledge the continued connection to land, water and community, their ability to care for Country and their deep spiritual connection to it.

We pay our respects to Elders past, present and emerging whose knowledge and wisdom has ensured the continuation of culture and traditional practices.

We are committed to genuine partnerships and engagement with Traditional Owners and First Nations people to support the protection of Country.

We are proud that Wodonga has retained its Aboriginal name and refers to Bulrushes found on the edge of waterways.
