| The Braiakaulung Advisory Committee was formally established in early 1998 following a period of extensive discussion and consultation with members of the local Indigenous community. The partnership, established through the formation of the Committee was, in part, a recognition of the need for the local government council to acknowledge and openly embrace the traditional owners of the land, and issues associated with reconciliation. | ||
