Our Reconciliation
Action Plan
A Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP) is a strategic framework that supports organisations in embedding meaningful, long-term actions to advance reconciliation between Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and non-Indigenous Australians.
It provides a structured approach to building respectful relationships, creating opportunities, and promoting cultural awareness within the workplace and the broader community. Through tailored commitments and initiatives, a RAP fosters inclusivity and acknowledges the history and contributions of First Nations peoples. By implementing a RAP, we at Green by Nature aim to contribute to a more equitable and united future.
Artwork Title: Four Tribes, One Purpose Our RAP artwork was created by Luke Penrith from the Wiradjuri, Yuin, Wotjobaluk and Gumbaynggirr nations. Luke has been on our reconciliation journey with us for a number of years now, also creating the Skyline RAP artwork.
The below is a description of the artwork from Luke:
“My artwork, created for Green by Nature, is a vibrant representation of four tribes coming together to discuss and embody the essence of ‘Caring for Country’. This piece reflects the deep connection and shared responsibility we all have in nurturing green spaces.“
Nurturing Green SpacesAt the heart of the artwork lies the central theme: Nurturing Green Spaces. This concept is woven throughout the piece, emphasising that prioritising the health and vitality of our environment is crucial for our collective well-being.
Stewardship and Birthright The tribes in the artwork symbolise our birthright and inherent duty to care for the land and waterways. This stewardship is not merely a responsibility but a profound connection where we recognise that we don’t own the land; instead, the land owns us. Our ancestors understood this intrinsic bond, and it is a wisdom that we carry forward.
Sustainable Practicesincorporating elements of both traditional and contemporary techniques, the artwork illustrates how old ways of caring for the land can harmoniously blend with new technologies. This synthesis ensures that we can sustainably manage our environment, respecting the past while embracing the future.
