Open Nature programming takes place on what always was and always will be Aboriginal lands. We respectfully acknowledge the Traditional Owners of these lands; the Wurundjeri Woi Wurrung and the Boon Wurrung clans of the Kulin Nation and the Brataualung, Brayakaulung, Brabralung, Krauatungalung and Tatungalung clans of the Gunaikurnai Nation, and recognise their continuing connection to land, waters and culture. We pay our respects to Elders past, present and emerging, as well as to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people in the wider Melbourne community and beyond. Indigenous sovereignty has never been ceded in Australia and we try to be mindful of this in everything we do, given our focus on the modern built environment.
