Statement from Kulai Pre School:

“What a momentous night in Coffs Harbour tonight when Coffs Harbour City Council voted unanimously to grant Kulai Preschool Aboriginal Corporation title of the land it’s situated on.

A big thank you to our local Aboriginal Land Council CEO Nathan Brennan for speaking on behalf of Kulai tonight. He presented a comprehensive picture of what has been achieved at Kulai over nearly six decades.

The ongoing support of both the Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal community has enabled us to retain our autonomy and continue to provide leadership in Aboriginal Early Childhood Education.

The Mayor and fellow councillors are to be recognised for their foresight in making this agreement possible.

The Kulai community would like to applaud the Councillors for the way in which they addressed this matter tonight.

The decision that was made this evening to grant Kulai Title of the land will provide a stronger future for our children and many generations to come.”

From everyone here at the LALC we would like to send our biggest
congratulations to Aunty Julie, Kulai board, staff and community on their persistence and determination to have the original council vote overturned.

An historic achievement!
