Acknowledgement of Traditional Owners

Knox City Council acknowledges the Wurundjeri Woi-wurrung people and Bunurong people of the Kulin Nation as Traditional Custodians of the land in Knox.

We pay respect to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Elders, past and present, who have resided in the area and have been an integral part of the region’s histories.

The Acknowledgement of Traditional Custodians Policy provides guidance on how to respectfully acknowledge Traditional Custodians at Council meetings, events, and in official documents. It also provides guidelines for recognising Traditional Owners and Country during significant occasions

Aboriginal community in Knox

The Knox Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities come from a variety of different nations within Australia including the Torres Strait, the Traditional Custodians and Stolen Generation.

Knox has many places of historic significance to the Kulin Nation. Important cultural and historical sites within Knox hold both the traditional knowledge of the First Nations peoples and the traumatic stories of colonisation.
