Acknowledgement of Country

Fraser Coast Regional Council acknowledges to the east, the Butchulla (Badtjala) and to the west, the Kabi Kabi (Kabbi Kabbi, Gubbi Gubbi) People, their connection to Country (land, sea and sky) and recognises the many places of cultural, spiritual, social and economic significance in the community.

We pay respects to their Elders – past, present and emerging. The Fraser Coast Regional Council also acknowledges other Aboriginals, Torres Strait Islander people and the Australian South Sea Islanders the who reside in the Fraser Coast region.
