Reconciliation Action Plan
We commit to ongoing, meaningful and genuine reconciliation with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.
Our Stretch Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP):
- builds on the work we have already done
- sets clear, measurable targets for us to embed reconciliation into how we operate.
We have influence within the South Australian community.
We commit to using that influence to:
- ensure positive outcomes for our First Australians
- continue our reconciliation journey.
In 2025, we will develop a new Stretch RAP 2025–2028. The new RAP will support us in continuing to build meaningful engagement with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.
Aboriginal artworks
In 2024, our Aboriginal Strategy team searched for three South Australian Aboriginal artists to design new artwork for our RAPs.
Presten Warren, Violet Buckskin and Jaylene Ware were selected from a pool of more than 50 incredible Aboriginal Artists. They brought our ‘Build. Move. Connect.’ tagline to life through their unique skills and rich storytelling.
We are excited to showcase their work in our RAPs over the next 10 years. The first will appear in our new Stretch RAP 2025-2028, which is set for release later in the year.

| Moving | Flowing elements represent the dynamic movement of people, goods and ideas. This reflects the modern transport networks and public transit systems. These networks and systems enable efficient and sustainable movement across the state. |
| Connecting | Interwoven pathways and dynamic forms highlight the vital connections between:
