Reconciliation Action Working Group
The Reconciliation Action Working Group plays a key role in guiding the Town of Cottesloe’s commitment to reconciliation. Its purpose is to support the development and implementation of Reconciliation Action Plans (RAPs), in consultation with Reconciliation Australia, and to help strengthen relationships between Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and the broader community.
The Group includes elected members and community representatives—both Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal—who are passionate about reconciliation. Together, they provide advice, share cultural insights, and help shape initiatives that promote respect, understanding, and meaningful engagement.
Meetings are generally held quarterly, and the Group’s work is underpinned by the themes of Relationships, Respect, and Opportunities, as outlined in the Town’s Reflect RAP.
