Reconciliation Framework

Reconciliation Action Plan 2021-2023

On 3 June 2021, Toodyay’s inaugural Reconciliation Action Plan was launched, 

The plan was created collaboratively by the Shire of Toodyay and the Noongar Kaartdijin Aboriginal Corporation. It is designed to be a practical guide for our journey of reconciliation together into the future. The plan is viewed as a positive step in the Toodyay community as a whole, as it brings all the good intentions and discussions into measureable actions that support and empower the Aboriginal community.

The plan can be viewed here.

The Shire of Toodyay is in a unique location being within three Noongar Boodjar boundaries of the Ballardong, Yued and Whadjuk peoples. The artwork reproduced on this page is also on the title page of the Reconciliation Action Plan.

Gnulla Karnany Waangkiny (Our Truth Telling) Partnership Project

Gnulla Karnany Waangkiny (Our Truth Telling) is a partnership project between the Noongar Kartdijin Aboriginal Corporation and the Shire of Toodyay, 18 months in the making and forming part of the Shire's Reconciliation Action Plan. The collaborative approach to this project is a wonderful example of two cultures working side by side to express the importance of truth telling, and what it means as part of the journey towards healing.

Gnulla Karnany Waangkiny was featured at the WALGA Aboriginal Engagement and Reconciliation Forum on 5 October 2022, held at Optus Stadium in Perth, where the powerful video below was presented.
