Celebrating Culture

Connecting with Country Consulting

Working hand-in-hand with Traditional Owners and Knowledge Holders

Connecting with Country Consulting supports organisations to work respectfully with Traditional Owners and Knowledge Holders when caring for Country.

As a Dharug-led social enterprise with over 20 years’ experience, Muru Mittigar facilitates culturally appropriate engagement grounded in community knowledge and trusted guidance.

Connecting with Country

We recognise that obtaining cultural support and advice from Traditional Owners in the built environment can be difficult. At Muru Mittigar, we facilitate and manage the engagement of Traditional Owners with guiding your organisation and Connecting with Country. Our advisory services are designed to assist clients in navigating the complex challenges associated with working with Country, Community, and Culture. Rather than outlining a full project and deliverable, we offer flexible options to provide ad hoc or ongoing advice and guidance.

Our Focus

  • Engagement with Dharug Traditional Owners; Elders, Artists, Knowledge Holders
  • Place Naming with provision of authentic Dharug language advice
  • Ad hoc or continuous Stakeholder Engagement
  • Assistance with advice on implementation of Reconciliation Action Plans
  • Preparation of Dharug-led Connecting with Country Reports in line with the NSW Framework
  • A Traditional interpretation of the content, location or service offering

About the Framework

The NSW Connecting with Country Framework is a comprehensive guide designed to integrate First Nations cultural knowledge into the planning, design, and delivery of built environment projects in New South Wales. It emphasises the First Nations philosophy that "If we care for Country, Country will care for us," promoting sustainable land and water use. The framework encourages collaboration with Aboriginal communities to protect cultural heritage and ensure that infrastructure projects are developed with a Country-centred approach.
