Acknowledgement of Country
Researchers from the Planning and Transport for Healthy Cities theme acknowledge the people of the Woi wurrung and Boon wurrung language groups of the eastern Kulin Nation and the traditional owners and custodians of Country throughout Australia. We recognise their ongoing unceded sovereignty to land and waters, and acknowledge the wisdom of their Ancestors and Elders, both past and present. As a group of researchers whose work is deeply connected to place, we are committed to supporting the protection of Country by prioritising respect and care for community, place and culture in all that we do.
