Brimbank City Council respectfully acknowledges and recognises the Wurundjeri and Bunurong Peoples as the Traditional Custodians of this land and pays respect to their Elders, past, present and future.

The Wurundjeri and Bunurong peoples are the Traditional Custodians of the land in the Port Phillip Bay region and have been for over 65,000 years before European settlement. This includes parts of our current City of Brimbank.

The Victorian Aboriginal Heritage Council determined the northern part of Brimbank as Wurundjeri Land and the southern part as Bunurong Land.

The north of Brimbank lies within the area occupied by the Kurung-Jang-Balluk and Marin-Balluk clans of the Wurundjeri people also known as the Woiwurrung language group, who form part of the larger Kulin Nation. Other groups who occupied the land in the area include the Yalukit-Willam and Marpeang-Bulluk clans.

The Brimbank City Council website provides excellent information and resources about local Aboriginal culture and heritage.
