Acknowledgment to Country

Walgett Shire Council sincerely acknowledges the Traditional Custodians and First People of the lands in which we live, work and grow, the Gamilaroi & Yuwaalaraay people of the Gomeroi nation - We pay our respect to all Elders both past, present and emerging and acknowledge their spiritual connection to the lands, waterways within the Walgett Shire. We extend that welcome to other Indigenous language groups, people from non-indigenous backgrounds and people from culturally and linguistically diverse groups within our Shire.
