Meaning ‘going forward/sharing’ in Noongar, Kolbang Yanginy was developed by Reconciliation WA in partnership with government and community organisations.

The platform features:

  • An interactive map of reconciliation stories from across WA.
  • Inspiring case studies and local voices.
  • Tools and resources that help councils work respectfully with Aboriginal communities.
  • Guidance on cultural protocols, heritage and partnership building.

As a proud contributor to the initiative, the Department helps ensure local governments have access to tools that highlight the significance of land and cultural heritage to Aboriginal people and demonstrate how to respect their ongoing connection to Country.

Local governments are encouraged to explore the resource at www.kolbangyanginy.org.au
