Mayor's Foreword

Nunga Week is an opportunity to support the cultural, spiritual, health, emotional and economic

wellbeing of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Island people in the region.

The City of PAE is situated on Kaurna Country and acknowledges the Kaurna people as the traditional

owners. We continue to recognise Aboriginal people as the first Australians, with a unique culture and spiritual

relationship to the land and sea that they have strived to retain through the period of non-indigenous settlement.

We recognise and celebrate Aboriginal culture across PAE and continue to showcase the local history and

achievements and experience the richness and diversity of the Aboriginal culture. We aim to increase Aboriginal

skill, knowledge and capability by encouraging community participation and opportunity that

increases and improves inclusion in our community.

We strive to create opportunities to involve community and provide adequate infrastructure

and access to services to build safer and more resilient communities.

Through increasing their voice and wellbeing we are developing stronger, more

cohesive, vibrant, and participatory community members who

can access cultural support to help them become

more connected.


Nunga WeekNunga Week is an acknowledgement by the City of PAE of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities’ contributions with a special focus on partnerships between PAE and other local groups and organisations.
