Council’s Innovate RAP (2023-2025) outlines the achievable and measurable actions we will take over the next two years to support lasting and meaningful relationships, encourage respect and promote opportunities for First Nations people in our region.

Gladstone Region Mayor Matt Burnett said the two-year plan represents further progress in Council’s commitment to reconciliation.

“It’s fantastic to see the progress we have made since we launched our first Reflect RAP in 2018, and this was strengthened by the initial Innovate RAP launched in 2021” Councillor Burnett said.

“The commitments within Council’s third RAP are aspirational and innovative, while also being achievable and measurable.

“Our Reconciliation Action Plan is not just another paper document; it is a foundation on which to achieve lasting and successful reconciliation in the Gladstone Region.”

RAP Reference Group Co-Chair, Cr Natalia Muszkat said reconciliation remains a priority for GRC, as evidenced by progression to the second Innovate RAP.

“We have a long list of achievements from our first Innovate RAP and it is because of this success I am confident we can achieve the commitments outlined in the second Innovate RAP.”

Representatives involved in the creation of the second Innovate RAP gathered for its launch at Philip Street Communities and Families Precinct on Monday 31 July.
