Council's Innovate Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP) is currently focussed on creating and strengthening relationships with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community members through innovative strategies, as well as including staff and stakeholders in the spirit of Reconciliation.  Council works with our local Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community to acknowledge and promote its rich history, enhance the Aboriginal community in Kingston, develop and implement Council Policy, and resource service networks and organisations. Council will seek to include recognition of the Climate and Ecological Emergency in future versions of Council's RAP.

Description

In 2024, Council's Carbon Offset policy was adopted. This policy seeks to maximise the co-benefits that carbon credit projects can deliver as well as the subsequent potential to address broader Council goals such as those articulated in Council’s Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP).
