We would like to acknowledge the Traditional Owners of this land, the Wurundjeri Woi Wurrung and Bunurong peoples of the Kulin Nation, and pay our respect to their Elders, past, present and emerging. We’d also like to acknowledge that sovereignty was never ceded and that this was and always will be Aboriginal land.
