The Yarra River is currently undergoing strategic planning. A Planning Panel today completed hearings into a proposed Yarra Strategic Plan.
The River has great Indigenous significance. We support genuine consultation and involvement with Traditional Owners to ensure proper protection of the River and their significant cultural heritage connections to Country.
As demonstrated by current world events, an approach led by Aboriginal people is one best likely to achieve deep and genuine outcomes. We urged the Panel to make this core to the strategic planning function – and not a mere token formality.
