Mackay Regional Council Stretch Reconciliation Action Plan for the Years May 2019 - May 2022 MESSAGE from the MAYOR Mackay Regional Council Stretch Reconciliation Action Plan for the years May 2019 - May 2022 MESSAGE FROM THE MAYOR “We walk in footsteps that are 2000 generations old” – it’s a simple, yet profound, statement I make almost daily, and it’s one that always makes me think. It is easy for the contemporary citizens of this great country to accept that Australia’s story began in 1770 when Captain Cook sailed into Botany Bay. But we now know that Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples have walked these lands for more than 60,000 years. We also know that Australian Aboriginal peoples are the oldest surviving culture in the world. The first Australians had no contact or exchange with the rest of the world until around 600 years ago. As a consequence, their rich culture remained intact with a society based on equity and consensus. There were no written journals or historical texts. Instead, the many nations which traversed the continent maintained a rich internal culture nourished by songlines – stories, traditions, songs, art and beliefs – and a value system that revolved around respect and care for the land and its creatures. Council, through this Reconciliation Action Plan, acknowledges the values, history and cultures of our Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. Our aim is to develop stronger relationships with the Traditional Custodians of our land. Relationships that are firmly anchored by the principle of mutual respect. We want to work with our Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community to protect and promote our region, celebrate our history and embrace opportunities as they arise. A successful program already underway works with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community members to record and preserve languages spoken by the original inhabitants of our region and passed down through generations. Sessions like Yarning with our Mob are ongoing at our libraries and seek to facilitate the learning, sharing and recording of Aboriginal languages. NAIDOC Week Celebrations are a focus where each year we seek to expand the opportunity to celebrate Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures through complementary events and programs, like art exhibitions, workshops and craft activities. We have also adjusted our protocols so that more of our civic functions and events have official Welcome to Country speeches from members of the Traditional Owners. The high quality of Welcome to Country addresses delivered by Elders of the community is advancing the reconciliation process immeasurably in the demonstration of a united approach. Reconciliation and change is ongoing and will not occur overnight. Our commitment is to continue to develop and improve our Action Plan and add policies and actions that work towards reconciliation and better outcomes for First Australians. We know that by working together, the future for all Australians is bright. Mayor Greg Williamson Mayor of Mackay Regional Council MESSAGE FROM THE CEO Council, as a large local employer, has a team from many different backgrounds, cultures and nations. Our Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples are an important, valued part of our organisation and I can honestly say their contribution to our programs and day-to-day business is highly regarded. This Action Plan seeks to reach out to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples to further develop social and economic opportunities, strengthen relationships and create a more diverse internal culture at Mackay Regional Council. As Chief Executive Officer, I feel privileged to present Mackay Regional Council’s 2019 - 2022 Reconciliation Action Plan. This plan outlines our commitments to striving towards long-term, measurable objectives in a bid to bridge the gap between Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and the broader community. As the Mackay region’s largest employer, council is passionate about setting an example for other organisations and employers to follow. Our goal is to be a champion of diversity and equal opportunity and this Action Plan helps us meet that goal. As an organisation, we know that diversity builds strength because everyone is unique, with their own ideas, beliefs, history, culture and skills. I think Kirstie Parker, CEO of the National Centre of Indigenous Excellence, summed it up perfectly when she said: “We have our eye on the same destination – a sustainable future where Indigenous people are recognised for their wisdom and honoured for their culture.” After all, council’s main aim with this Action Plan is to produce better outcomes for First Australians, and we will continue to work towards that aim every year. Craig Doyle CEO of Mackay Regional Council OUR VISION FOR RECONCILIATION Mackay Regional Council’s vision is to recognise and respect the cultures and histories of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, and to build strong relationships that create harmony between Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities and the broader community in Mackay. OUR VISION FOR RECONCILIATION OUR BUSINESS The Mackay Regional Local Government Area (LGA) has been one of the fastest growing in Queensland in recent years, with an estimated population at June 2017 of 117,064. Looking to the future, strong growth is forecast, with a projected regional population heading towards 200,000 over the coming decades. Mackay Regional Council came into existence after the amalgamation of the former Mackay City Council, Mirani Shire Council and Sarina Shire Council on March 15, 2008. Prior to 2008, the Mackay Region comprised of three distinct local government areas, the City of Mackay, Shire of Mirani and Shire of Sarina. The Mackay Regional Council area covers 7,622 km² and is situated on the traditional lands of the Yuwibara people. The Yuwibara people are one of several tribes in the region, and their territory included the town area of Mackay prior to European colonisation. Our region is blessed with an amazing natural environment which includes 31 unspoilt beaches, a picturesque blue river and a pristine rainforest hinterland. Our passionate people – both within council and our community – are by far one of the greatest assets our region possess and together, with the State and Federal Government and our local business community, we are striving to create a region which is prosperous, sustainable and vibrant. Our council is a major employer in the region with approximately 1100 employees including approximately 45 who identify as Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander peoples. Through offices and depots based in Mackay, Mirani, Sarina, Eungella and Calen we provide a full range of local government services such as roads, water, waste collection, planning, libraries, cultural facilities, community development, sport and recreation opportunities and emergency management. Our organisation works as one team to achieve for our community. We hold to our values of Teamwork, Accountability, Respect, Client Satisfaction and Employee Health and Safety and we will not compromise our values in any situation – with our clients, the community or each other.

    Speech by Jason Costigan MEMBER FOR WHITSUNDAY Hansard Wednesday, 30 May 2012 MAIDEN SPEECH Mr COSTIGAN (Whitsunday—LNP) (4.08 pm): It gives me tremendous pleasure to rise as the first LNP member for Whitsunday, fulfilling my dream of representing a region that is very dear to my heart. First, though, I take this opportunity to congratulate the Speaker of the House on her historic appointment; the Premier, the Hon. Campbell Newman MP, on his historic election; and all members on their success in being part of the 54th Parliament. I look around the House and think back to 1865, when the foundation stone was laid—the same year that my great-great-grandfather came to Mackay as a pioneering police officer, having previously served as an officer of the Royal Irish Constabulary before arriving in Queensland. Pat Costigan served in Mackay and nearby Walkerston and by 1873 took up his posting as the first officer in charge at Nebo. Five generations later, there is still plenty of Nebo in my DNA. In fact, the Costigans have been in Queensland before there even was a Queensland, with William Costigan being part of that famous but ill-fated expedition to the north led by Edmund Kennedy way back in 1848, landing on the shores of Rockingham Bay north of present-day Cardwell. I come from humble stock in what used to be called the Brigalow Belt, well before the term ‘Bowen Basin’ became part of Queensland’s vernacular, with the emergence of the juggernaut that is now the coalmining industry in the Mackay-Whitsunday hinterland.

  • Chapter 2: the Mackay Setting
    CHAPTER 2: THE MACKAY SETTING Ken Granger and Trevor Jones Introduction Mackay, in Central Queensland, is one of the State’s larger regional cities. It lies, roughly mid way between Brisbane and Cairns, being some 800 km in a direct line, or 970 km by road, from Brisbane. The 2890 km2 area administered by Mackay City Council has a resident population of approximately 71 400. The Mackay urban area which is the focus of this study, occupies around 240 km2 and is home to around 59 000 people. The city is predominantly a transport, education and service centre for a large sugar and grain growing district, with a major coal export terminal at Dalrymple Bay/Hay Point. Mackay is also the gateway to the tourist resorts on the southern islands of the Whitsunday Group. For the neighbouring council areas of Mirani (about 5100 people) to the west, Sarina (9400 people) to the south, and Whitsunday (18 300 people) to the north, Mackay is the major centre. These jurisdictional boundaries are shown in Figure 2.1. 11 Figure 2.1: Mackay study area location The Physical Setting Topography: The entire study area is low-lying, with an average elevation of less than 10 m above the Australian Height Datum (AHD), with the low hills of Mount Bassett (approximately 30 m above AHD) and Mount Pleasant (about 60 m above AHD) as the main features of relief. In the original area of urban development, south of the Pioneer River, the average elevation is around 6 m above AHD and ranges from less than 4 m above AHD at the airport to a little over 11 m above AHD at the Mackay Base Hospital.
