Acknowledgement of Country

Acknowledgement of Traditional Owners

Glen Eira City Council acknowledges the Boonwurrung/Bunurong and the Wurundjeri Woi Wurrung peoples of the Eastern Kulin Nation, as the Traditional Owners and Custodians, and pays respect to their Elders past, present and emerging.

We acknowledge and uphold the Traditional Owners' continuing relationship to the land and waterways.

Council extends its respect, to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.

Making Glen Eira a culturally safe place for Indigenous Australians

You might be surprised at how many Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people live, work and visit Glen Eira. To help make our City a welcoming place for Indigenous Australians, we want you to get to know them better. Please see Welcoming Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people in Glen Eira for more information.

The Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples significant dates highlight important dates to acknowledge, promote and respect Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, their culture and defining moments in our history.

The calendar provides an opportunity to recognise important historical events and celebrate the culture and contribution of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.
