About the RAP
The City has had three RAPs:

2013-2016
2018-2021.
The most recent was a ‘Stretch’ RAP which sets targets for employment, engaging with Aboriginal businesses and other actions. We are now preparing an 'Innovate' RAP for 2023-2025 reflecting on where the City is at with reconciliation and what else needs actioning.
The RAP 2023-2025 will provide a framework with actions, timeframes and requirements to report, turning good intentions into measurable actions. The RAP reinforces the City's commitment to progressing reconciliation, increasing equity, and listening to First Nations voices.
