We acknowledge the Darug as the First People of the Blacktown City region.
Blacktown City Council acknowledges the Darug people as the original custodians of the land on which Blacktown City is built. We pay our respects to Elders past and present, and acknowledge the Aboriginal people for their custodianship of this land. We will work together for a united City that respects this land and values the contribution to our community and culture of all people of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander heritage.
