A Aboriginal engagement

The City of Stirling acknowledges the Nyoongar People as the traditional custodians of this land and pays its respect to Elders past and present. The City has developed a Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP) and with a dedicated Aboriginal Engagement Officer and an Aboriginal Youth Development Officer the City will reinforce their commitment and guide us towards our vision for reconciliation. For more information please visit the City’s website or contact the Customer Contact Centre. Accessibility Our Access and Inclusion Officer provides information and guidance about access and inclusion issues, attends to related enquiries and delivers disability awareness training to City employees. In addition, the Access and Inclusion Officer offers support to local businesses, promotes best practice and the Accessible Stirling Awards. Adopt-A-Park Supporters Program The City’s Adopt-A-Park Supporters Program encourages the local community to keep an eye on their parks and reserves and report any concerns. The City has approximately 1342 hectares of parks and reserves enjoyed by thousands of local residents. By adopting a local park in your neighbourhood, you can make a difference to the way your park looks and the maintenance of facilities. You may already be performing many of the activities our Adopt-A-Park supporters carry out in our parks and reserves such as: • Reporting faulty or damaged lights, barbecues, benches and seating areas

• Reporting overhanging or fallen tree branches • Picking up litter, and reporting overfull bins • Reporting antisocial behaviour • Reporting irresponsible dog ownership • Reporting or removing graffiti.
