The Department of Local Government is conducting an inquiry into the City of Cockburn following complaints.
The Aboriginal Reference Group (ARG) meets regularly to communicate with the City, strengthen understanding and celebrate the achievements of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people. The ARG is comprised of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community members who live, work or are actively involved in the Cockburn community.
Membership nominations are currently open for the Aboriginal Reference Group. An Annual Gerneral Meeting (AGM) is held every year to consider those nominated and elect the next Aboriginal Reference Group. The membership terms are for two years with 50% of the membership coming up for election one year and the other 50% in the next, in order to maintain continuity. If positions for membership become available during the year then new nominations can be considered. Those interested in membership should contact the City to discuss and ensure they have read and agree with the Terms of Reference and Meeting Guidelines.
