The Department of Planning, Industry and Environment recognises that, as part of the world’s oldest living culture, traditional Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander owners and custodians of the Australian continent and adjacent islands share a unique bond to Country — a bond forged through thousands of years of travelling across lands and waterways for ceremony, religion, trading and seasonal migration. A key objective in planning for the Aerotropolis is to: Recognise Country Acknowledge Traditional Custodians and provide opportunities to Connect with Country, Design for Country and Care for Country when planning for the Aerotropolis. Aboriginal peoples maintain a strong belief that if we care for Country, it will care for us. The Aerotropolis area is custodially cared for by three Aboriginal groups: the Darug, Dharawal and Gundungurra. Others, such as the Eora, Darkinjung, Wiradjuri and Yuin maintain trade or other obligatory care relationships with the area. The Deerubbin, Gandangara and Tharawal Local Aboriginal Land Councils also have local land holdings and responsibilities towards Aboriginal peoples living in the area. Country takes in everything within the physical, cultural and spiritual landscape – landforms, waters, air, trees, rocks, plants, animals, foods, medicines, minerals, stories and special places. It includes cultural practice, kinship, knowledge, songs, stories and art, as well as spiritual beings, and people: past, present and future. At around 12 square kilometres, the area of the Aerotropolis is large, and extends beyond the initial Aerotropolis Precincts for which planning is underway. The Aerotropolis forms part of Country – the interconnected and complex system of water, landscape, geology, sky and culture important to Traditional Owners – and is emerging as a critical integral concept to urban design. Country extends from the mountains, across the plains and rolling hills to the sea and beyond. The planning and future phases of the Aerotropolis will recognise Aboriginal cultural values in design outcomes, cultural heritage, and the approach to the urban system.
