The Bunbury Geographe Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP) is a collaborative effort between the Shires of Harvey, Dardanup, Capel and the City of Bunbury.
The RAP outlines a number of objectives and initiatives that will inform the policies, practices and procedures of each Local Government Authority (LGA). While development of the RAP was a cooperative effort, there will be specific policies and initiatives that will apply to all LGAs and others that will be delivered by individual LGAs.
The Shire will be developing a new local Reconciliation Action Plan in consultation with local Noongar Elders in 2023.
