EPA acknowledges Aboriginal people as the first peoples and Traditional
custodians of the land and water on which we live, work and depend. We pay
respect to Aboriginal Elders, past and present. As Victoria's environmental
regulator, we pay respect to how Country has been protected and cared for by
Aboriginal people over many tens of thousands of years. We acknowledge the
unique spiritual and cultural significance of land, water and all that is in the
environment to Traditional Owners, and recognise their continuing connection to,
and aspirations for Country.
