The RAP development process:

SMRC has committed to develop a Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP) in order to implement a formal framework for reconciliation initiatives. RAPs are a nationally recognised mechanism which enable organisations to sustainably and strategically take meaningful action to advance reconciliation.

A “Reflect” RAP was selected to provide SMRC with a foundational first step on our formal reconciliation journey. A Reflect RAP is an opportunity to look at internal capacity, processes, and resources, and sets out the steps which prepare an organisation for reconciliation initiatives in future RAPs.

The draft RAP has been developed in line with the Reconciliation Australia process for developing a Reflect RAP for a Local Government organisation:

  • Registration of interest in developing a RAP
  • Selection of most appropriate RAP type
  • Form internal working party
  • Develop / author draft RAP
  • First round of feedback from Reconciliation Australia
  • Changes to draft
  • Reconciliation Australia provides formal conditional endorsement
  • Report to Council to recommend draft be placed on public exhibition
  • Public exhibition process
  • Collate and incorporate feedback
  • Final draft presented to Reconciliation Australia for approval
  • Final approved draft presented to Council for adoption
  • Adoption and implementation.

This consultation will be open until 11.59pm Wednesday 22 March 2023.
