Country, Culture, People

A commitment was made in the City of Hobart Annual Plan for 2024-25 to review the City of Hobart's Aboriginal Commitment and Action Plan 2020-22. Feedback from the Aboriginal community was that the City of Hobart Commitment and Action Plan 2020-22 focused on the Reconciliation Action Plan process. This was seen as inappropriate in Lutruwita, lacking tangible actions and not providing direct pathways to cultural safety. Truth Telling and Treaty had a greater focus on community feedback.

This strategy is the review's outcome and provides a responsive learning framework to build cultural safety and improve relationships and opportunities with Palawa over time, providing authentic opportunities for truth-telling. It identifies priorities across three areas discussed in consultations with Palawa across Lutruwita (Tasmania): Country, Culture and People.
