Update - Innovate RAP

Thank you for your thoughtful feedback on the Draft Innovate Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP).

All responses have been carefully considered and provided to Reconciliation Australia, who has conditionally endorsed the plan.

The finalised draft RAP is expected to be reviewed for adoption by Councillors at our February 2026 Council meeting (next month).

Feedback highlighted the importance of having clearly identifiable deliverables and robust measures to increase accountability and ensure progress. In response, we are developing an operational document that outlines measurable actions to support the RAP's broader goals. This will be an internal document, co-developed with input from the RAP Working Groups and the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Reference Group.

The format and content of the Draft Innovate RAP are prescribed by Reconciliation Australia, limiting the extent of changes Council is able to make.

We will keep our community updated on progress and look forward to incorporating your insights as we continue our journey of reconciliation.
