I acknowledge that the City of Greater Bendigo is on Dja Dja Wurrung and Taungurung Country. I would like to acknowledge and extend my appreciation for the Dja Dja Wurrung People, the Traditional Owners of the land that we are standing on today. We are privileged to gather, live, learn and work on this land, and pay respects to both past and present, as well as our shared future.
