ACKNOWLEDGMENT OF COUNTRY

I would like to pay my respects and acknowledgment of the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders Elders, for all the past; present; and value of the continuing connection to this landscape, as the traditional custodians of the land we meet on today.

I respect and thank their generosity for sharing their knowledge, customs, and language in allowing urban designers & landscape architectures to become better decision makers.

I acknowledge aboriginal sovereignty have not been ceded.
