The land to the north of Alexandra Parade, however, forms part of the traditional lands of the Wurundjeri People, who are represented by the Wurundjeri Woi Wurrung Cultural Heritage Aboriginal Corporation. This report is limited in its scope to consideration of post-contact cultural heritage and does not provide advice on any Aboriginal cultural heritage significance. Nonetheless, we acknowledge the Traditional Owners of the land at this place, including the Wurundjeri People, and pay our respects to their Elders past, present and emerging. For more information on the Wurundjeri People, please visit https://www.wurundjeri.com.au.
