'At its heart, reconciliation is about strengthening relationships between Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and non-Indigenous peoples, for the benefit of all Australians.' - Reconciliation Australia



Lismore City Council is commencing the process of developing the Innovate Reconciliation Action Plan for 2024 - 2026.

A Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP) is a document that organisations develop to outline the actions and initiatives that Council will take to contribute to reconciliation in Australia.

The RAP framework is prearranged by Reconciliation Australia and includes the following pillars:

  • Relationships
  • Respect
  • Opportunities
  • Governance

The Innovate RAP is an opportunity for Council to demonstrate its commitment to meaningful engagement with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities, continuing to foster and build respect for heritage, cultures and knowledge.

View our RAP 2022 - 2024 HERE.


Community and Stakeholder Engagement

Tell us your ideas for how we can better relationships, promote culture and foster wellbeing for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people in our community.

Your feedback will be used to shape what the 'Focus Areas' are and Council's deliverables in the RAP for 2024-2026.

Our key methods for gathering this feedback are:

  • online engagement through Your Say, including a short survey
  • attendance at community events
  • meetings with key stakeholders

Opportunities to participate in this engagement will be shared with our community through:

  • face to face conversations at community events
  • included in direct email to Your Say subscribers
  • advertising via social media
  • flyers at local libraries and Lismore City Council Corporate Centre

Want to be involved further? Please submit your interest through the short survey. Council will consider all submissions for next steps which may include nominating a RAP 2024-2026 featured artist, working groups and ongoing updates with stakeholders.

  • Lismore City Council is seeking Expressions of Interest (EOI) from Aboriginal artists for a project connecting the Lismore Local Government Area and the greater Bundjalung Nation. The EOI is for an Aboriginal artist to create a distinct artwork that reflects the importance of reconciliation and its connection to the community, which will form the creative design of Lismore City Council's forthcoming Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP). 


    Project Details

    Our objective
    To engage an Aboriginal artist to create artwork that connects with the community and represents reconciliation.

    Collaboration and support
    The artist will create the work and work with Council staff to incorporate the work into the RAP design. The process will be captured in photography and video for launch in June-July 2024.

    The artwork
    This design is exclusive to the RAP document and may be incorporated into designs for fleet vehicles, buildings and assets owned by the Council, employee lanyards, business cards, uniforms, publications and printed materials, websites, and digital channels such as Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, and Twitter.


    EOI process

    Format
    The final artwork must be delivered in a high-resolution digital format (can be a high-resolution photograph of a canvas piece) and adaptable to different applications.

    Who can apply
    Individuals must be of Aboriginal descent and confirm they can work within the time frame. This opportunity is for artists working with painting, graphic design, drawing and all forms of visual media. 


    Key dates

    • EOI closes: 21 May 2024
    • Artist announced: 29 May 2024 (during Reconciliation Week events).
