In recent years, there has been a growing commitment to honour Whadjuk Noongar culture and work toward genuine, meaningful reconciliation. The Town of Mosman Park officially acknowledges the Whadjuk Noongar people as the Traditional Custodians and carers of this land. We recognise their cultural connection to the land and waterways of Mosman Park, and their contributing contribution to our Town.

The Town of Mosman Park Council has officially adopted the development of our second Reconciliation Action Plan, building off the foundations laid in our first Reflect Reconciliation Action Plan. The Town’s administration also actively involves Aboriginal Elders and community members in consultations on heritage and planning projects and regularly invites Elders to advise on best-practice relating to cultural management. The Town has also recently adopted a new Procurement Policy, amplifying Aboriginal owned businesses.

Above all, The Town of Mosman Park aspires to walk together, building strong relationships between Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal residents. As outlined in the Town’s Strategic Community Plan 2021 – 2031, we work towards a future where “Aboriginal culture is respected, celebrated and embedded in the Town’s day-to-day activities.” By acknowledging the past and working hand-in-hand today, our community moves toward a future where Noongar heritage is honored, and everyone plays a part in caring for this land. The rivers, hills and sky of Mosman Park have stories that span tens of thousands of years; by learning those stories, we deepen our sense of place and strengthen our shared future.
