Reconciliation Week street banners

Feb 3, 2025, 15:05 PM

Planning is well underway for one of Western Australia’s most visual demonstrations of building strong and positive relationships with Aboriginal people, the Reconciliation Week Street Banners program.

The banners, which in 2025 will feature a stunning piece of artwork from Noongar artist Darryl Dempster, are displayed in communities across Western Australia during Reconciliation Week from 27 May to 3 June.

Reconciliation WA delivers the program with support from the Department of Local Government, Sport and Cultural Industries (DLGSC) and the success of the program centres on sponsorship of single or multiple banners - including by local government, business, community organisations and the general public.

Sponsorship helps cover the cost of production and last year more than 350 banners were flown throughout the State. Bookings for the 2025 program are now open and more details are available at National Reconciliation Week Street Banner Program - Reconciliation WA

DLGSC works to be a conduit for reconciliation through work across the range of its activities whether it be supporting Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples to share and celebrate First Nations cultures and languages, helping Western Australians connect to their Aboriginal ancestry, and nurturing our state’s talented artists, performers and athletes.

Duing last year’s Reconciliation Week, DLGSC launched the Reflect Reconciliation Action Plan which sets out a framework to support reconciliation across all aspects of the department’s portfolio responsibilities and locations.
