Stakeholders in the Indigenous space in Port Phillip are meeting regularly to assess need but it is obviously difficult to engage ‘face to face’ during this period.
National NAIDOC Week is in November and City of Port Phillip is developing online content to complement the week.
The evaluation report for City of Port Phillip’s most recent Reconciliation Action Plan is being finalised, and a third Reconciliation Action Plan will be drafted this year.
A highlight this week was a 7.30 Report story on the ABC featuring Benson Saulo, the first Indigenous Consul General representing the Australian Government, based in Houston. Amazing young man, and brilliant achievement, really awe inspiring!
