The Great Western Highway project is located within the Country of the Darug, Gundungurra and Wiradjuri peoples.
Transport NSW recognises that the Darug, Gundungurra and Wiradjuri people have a continuous and deep connection to their Country, and that this is of great cultural significance to their people.
May we acknowledge the Traditional Custodians of the land on which the project rests, whose cultures and customs have nurtured, and continue to nurture this land.
May we pay our respect to Elders past, present and future and extend that respect to all Aboriginal people.
