Please click here to open an information sheet about the Nillumbik Reconciliation Group (162KB).
Nillumbik Reconciliation Group grew out of an Advisory Committee delegated by the Nillumbik Shire Council to arrange a ceremony to promote reconciliation. As a result of its recommendations, a formal document of Acknowledgement, Apology and Commitment was presented by the Council to Wurundjeri Elders at a Gayip (the Woiwurrung word for an inter-clan gathering or ceremony) held in May 1998 at Wingrove Park.
Ten years on, in 2008, the Council has unanimously passed a Reconciliation Charter (229KB), which will underpin all Shire initiatives and activities, and NRG continues to work in partnership with the Council promoting Reconciliation in Nillumbik.
