Acknowledgement of Country

The lands on which we work and live is country for 29 First Nations – from Wiljakali country on the plains of Far Western New South Wales (NSW), to Ngarigo country in the high Snowy Mountains and Bundjalung country on the sub-tropical North Coast, and more First Nations across the diverse landscape that is regional, rural and remote NSW and parts of southern Queensland.

We acknowledge the Traditional Custodians of the lands on which our company is located and where we conduct our business, and we acknowledge all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples across Australia. We pay our respects to ancestors and Elders, past, present and emerging. We are committed to honouring Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples’ unique cultural and spiritual relationships to the land, waters and seas and their rich contribution to society.

A map of our network area across 29 First Nations — This map shows the First Nations upon whose land Essential Energy’s regional NSW depots and offices are located. Beyond our depots and offices, our network area overlaps with the Country of other First Nations. These additional First Nations will be added to the map in our second Reconciliation Action Plan, which is being developed during 2023.
