Acknowledgment of Country

Coffs Harbour City Council, Bellingen Shire Council, and Nambucca Valley Council acknowledge the traditional custodians of the land on which we meet, the Gumbaynggirr people, who have cared for this land since time immemorial. We pay our respects to their elders past, present and emerging, and commit ourselves to a future with reconciliation and renewal at its heart.
