Acknowledgements The development of this Plan has been made possible through the involvement of many people and organisations. The spirit that lies within the words on these pages would not have been possible without the generosity of time and willingness to speak up and speak out from Aboriginal people, families and communities who reside in the Northern Sydney region. I am grateful for their trust in sharing personal encounters with me, which gives this new social plan depth and integrity.
