Acknowledgement of Country

Acknowledgement of Country

We are proud to launch Airport Development Group’s virtual Welcome to Country and Acknowledgement of Country, acknowledging the traditional custodians of the lands on which we operate, in Darwin - the Larrakia people, Alice Springs – the Arrernte people and Tennant Creek – the Warumungu people.

Featuring Larrakia traditional owner Edwin Fejo and accompanied by Alviston Wunungmurra on the didgeridoo, these videos have been created in collaboration with The Youth Mill, a Darwin-based organisation who support awareness and preservation of culture and identity. 

The videos will be used across our business, sharing our respect for the traditional owners of this land.
