1 SA Water Stretch Reconciliation Action Plan Consolidate actions January 2017-December 2017 Stretch actions through to December 2017-June 2020

2 As an employer, we want to see our people flourish and the cultural diversity of our employees embraced and celebrated. Providing the right opportunities, support and encouragement for our Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander employees is a key to our success. Our vision for reconciliation Across the vast lands on which we operate, we want to see businesses, communities and individuals thrive. Being respectful of Traditional Ownership, sharing knowledge and skills, and protecting cultural heritage are keys to ensuring the best outcomes for South Australia. As a service provider, we want to ensure we meet our customers expectations and offer them a great experience. It is important we provide the right services, in the right ways, to our culturally diverse community and ensure we listen to what our customers are telling us. We support Reconciliation Australia s aim of closing the life expectancy gap that exists between Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people and other Australians. We achieve this by: providing safe clean drinking water supporting communities to improve their health and wellbeing protecting the environment and recognising the ongoing connection that Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people have to the environments on which our services rely providing opportunities for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people through education initiatives, employment, training and partnerships. Reconciliation in our eyes Roch Cheroux SA Water Chief Executive Reconciliation is about bringing people together, promoting equality, respecting heritage and working to find the best outcomes possible for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people. SA Water works on Aboriginal lands on culturally sensitive and significant sites across South Australia. We have relationships with many communities who help guide us in our projects and how we operate on the land and waters. Our Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander employees bring a wide breadth of knowledge, skills and experience to our teams. Reconciliation is important for us as a water business, employer, government agency, land owner and operator. It is part of who we are. It is part of what we do. It is crucial to our success. Shane Blogg (Gunnai/Kurnai) SA Water Workforce Sustainability Coordinator As an Aboriginal employee at SA Water, reconciliation for me is about opening your eyes to all cultures whether Aboriginal or non-aboriginal. As individuals we cannot change the past, but we can certainly acknowledge what has happened and move forward side by side. As an organisation that covers all parts of South Australia and into New South Wales and Victoria, we have the perfect platform to change people s lives whether that s through employment or a better way of life. As an employee who has been part of SA Water s Reconciliation Action Plan since its inception, I am proud of what our organisation has achieved. But in saying that, I believe we have so much more that we can do for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. This Reconciliation Action Plan gives us the foresight to challenge and deliver some key actions for the future. Holly Aldenhoven (Garawa/Yanguwa) SA Water Business Support Officer I believe that reconciliation should be about the future. As an Aboriginal staff member reconciliation means to me the future working together and equality. How we openly see, treat and accept Aboriginal people. Therefore reconciliation should involve gaining an understanding of Aboriginal culture. This is developed through the culture awareness sessions. This will create more understanding and make connections that help Aboriginal people feel welcome when starting a new job. Shane Innes SA Water Service Desk Lead Reconciliation is about acknowledging and having an awareness of the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander way of life both past and present. It is about valuing and respecting Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people and ensuring they are presented with the opportunities and skills to develop and excel so that current gaps in health, education and employment are minimised. A key part of reconciliation for me is contributing to SA Water initiatives to provide positive outcomes for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders. Raising awareness of the Reconciliation Action Plan, partaking in cultural awareness training, as well as working closely with Aboriginal employees have been rewarding experiences. I believe reconciliation is an important ongoing partnership for all people to drive respect, equality and inclusion for all Australians. Leticia Mooney Business owner and SA Water customer When I heard that SA Water was putting together a reconciliation statement, it made me realise how many of us don t commit to putting our ethics on paper. In so doing, SA Water is making itself publicly accountable to its approach to unity and respect. Few organisations have as strong a need to do this as SA Water. As South Australia s custodian of water supply, treatment, and use, SA Water works closely with our Indigenous brothers and sisters, and not just in supply and treatment, but also in the preservation of important wetlands, springs, and other sources right across the state. For this keystone organisation to take a formal position in respecting not only the Traditional Owners of the lands, but the lands themselves, this is a landmark day. Well done, SA Water. It makes me proud to be a resident and business owner in the state.

3 SA Water serves customers across the state, from metropolitan Adelaide, to remote communities. This Reconciliation Action Plan is our third RAP and reflects on the work we have done to date, consolidates actions and then stretches into the future. Our business World class water services for a better life this is our vision to put our 1.6 million customers at the heart of everything we do. By delivering safe, sustainable and affordable drinking water, recycled water and wastewater services, we aim to support growth, development and quality of life for the community. Our head office is in Adelaide s Victoria Square/Tarndanyangga, but our 1500 employees are located across the state, from Ceduna on the far west coast, to Mount Gambier in the south east, throughout the Riverland region and the far north. We also have employees based across the border in New South Wales and Victoria operating and maintaining locks, weirs and Lake Victoria. We have about 30 Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander employees who work in a variety of roles across the state and just over the borders. Our services extend to the Anangu Pitjantjatjara Yankunytjatjara and Maralinga Tjarutja lands and Aboriginal Lands Trust communities. While SA Water Corporation was established in 1994, our history stretches back to the 1850s and we remain a publicly owned government business. Our RAP This Reconciliation Action Plan is our third formal RAP and reflects on the work we have done to date with our first Reconciliation Action Plan process involvement established in This Reconciliation Action Plan consolidates actions and then stretches into the future. Looking back, we have had many successes, including: Engaging with Aboriginal communities, including Traditional Owners and Elders across South Australia and at Lake Victoria Recruiting Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people into traineeships Attendance and input into the Kungun Ngarrindjeri Yunnan Agreement (KNYA) meetings Acknowledging and respecting Traditional Owners and Elders when working on country Supporting cross-government initiatives in relation to the protection and management of Aboriginal heritage sites, objects and remains Protecting and managing Aboriginal sites through developing and implementing Cultural Heritage Management Plans for SA Water landholdings and operational facilities where sites of Aboriginal cultural heritage significance have been identified Seeking funding for research projects on responsible water use and conservation, which includes development of community water conservation plans in remote regional communities Links with vocational educators for scholarships, work experience and employment opportunities Looking forward, there is so much more we can do. The RAP Our new RAP sets out how we will be working to achieve our aim for Reconciliation over the next four years. This RAP will be championed by the (GM) Strategy Performance and Innovation and our Aboriginal Co-Chair to ensure its success. It has been designed around the three areas we need to focus on to deliver successful outcomes: People supporting our Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander employees to thrive Partners supporting businesses and using our influence to drive great supplier outcomes Water supporting communities in new ways with safe, clean water and education Each of the key areas has been broken into two distinct phases: consolidate and stretch actions. Consolidate actions are our priority actions to be achieved by December These actions focus on what we need to do to embed our previous commitments, ensuring they become part of the way we do business and setting the foundation for our stretch actions. Our stretch actions will be delivered over the following three years and aim to build on previous commitments through actions focused on embedding real cultural change across the organisation, supporting our people and providing economic opportunities and outcomes for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities. By having a four year RAP, SA Water is taking a long term approach to progress that aligns with our business planning cycles and ensures the actions can be fully embedded into our business. Each action is also linked back to the Reconciliation Australia focus areas: Relationships the meaningful relationships we have with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities enhance our workplace, the services we offer and the value we add to the communities we serve. Respect we are committed to building awareness of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and their cultures. We will ensure all employees and contractors embrace, respect and celebrate Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples, Cultures and Histories. Opportunities we will create genuine opportunities for our Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander employees and businesses to flourish across the state. The actions detailed in this Reconciliation Action Plan have been endorsed by the SA Water Board, Chief Executive (CE), Senior Leadership Team (SLT) and Reconciliation Australia. However, it is a document that will evolve as we continue our reconciliation journey. We maintain a detailed action register that will continue to be monitored and reported against to ensure timeframes and deliverables are achieved. This will include reviewing actions on an annual basis to ensure they continue to be effective, remain relevant and meet the organisational commitment. The findings will be reported to our leadership team and used to improve the plan.

4 This Reconciliation Action Plan has been developed by our Reconciliation Action Plan Committee which oversees the development and delivery of the actions in our RAP. The RAP Committee and Aboriginal Collective This Reconciliation Action Plan has been developed by our Reconciliation Action Plan Committee which oversees the development and delivery of the actions in our RAP. The committee is chaired by our (GM) Strategy Performance and Innovation and includes representatives nominated by each across SA Water. This diversity brings a mix of skills, views and experience to reflect the breadth of SA Water s activities. The committee works under an established term of reference, meeting once a quarter to monitor and oversee the delivery of the actions in our RAP. For this RAP we have also nominated a Co-Chair, an external recognised Aboriginal community member to provide additional guidance and insight to our actions. The committee is supported by our Aboriginal Collective, a group formed in 2016 to bring together and give voice to our Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander employees. The Collective has an important role in guiding the actions in this plan. The Collective meet on a quarterly basis for discussion. The Kauwi interpretive centre support Kauwi in the local Kaurna language means water. Input from the local Kaurna community was instrumental in the design and development of the Kauwi Interpretive Centre which is part of the Adelaide Desalination Plant. The centre provides educational opportunities to showcase the importance of water in a cultural context and the interconnection of all living things as part of telling the story of water in South Australia. Students can also discover the cultural importance of the land to the Traditional Owners, through displays, problemsolving activities and tours. The centre also includes a bush tukka garden where students can learn about the use of plants by the Kaurna people. Former Tauondi College student, now SA Water employee, Jeff Smith at work in our Information Services area. APY Lands trade training support centre at Umuwas SA Water Remote Communities Group works with Federal and State agencies, Aboriginal land holding authorities and communities in the provision of water and wastewater services to 18 designated Aboriginal communities in regional and remote areas of South Australia. The work is critical to ensuring the ongoing supply of safe and clean drinking water and sewage services to these communities. An important part of the program is the employment of local Community Water Services Officers. The Remote Communities Group also works closely with other State Government agencies on a range of inter-government and coordination related activities such as natural resource management, housing standards and programs, Australian Army programs, and municipal services. Aboriginal education, employment and training initiatives are also promoted and supported through this program. The group has also been instrumental in the development of mainstreaming service provision proposals associated with some of these communities as an important reconciliation initiative. Tauondi college sponsorship program Tauondi Aboriginal College in Port Adelaide is an independent college that provides post-secondary education for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people. SA Water has been partnering with Tauondi for over five years offering four work experience placements each year to students undertaking either Business Administration and/or Information Technology. Students are given a four week placement to gain experience working on a full time basis to gain additional skills that relate to their studies. The Living Loans program SA Water s Living Loans program aims to provide linkages with schools, extending learning opportunities by having staff share their knowledge and experience of what we do. As part of the RAP, the program has been extended to target opportunities to loan Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander employees to schools to speak about their personal journey within the organisation and learn more about what SA Water does in the reconciliation space. The program aims to provide student with ideas about future employment opportunities by providing role models. The launch of our first RAP in 2011.

11 When we discussed what reconciliation means to us personally as Aboriginal and Non-Aboriginal Australians, the most common word to come out of these team discussions was respect, a respect for the culture, the past and the heritage. In celebration of NAIDOC week and in respect for reconciliation, each of our teams designed a boomerang to represent our understanding and commitment to reconciliation. The boomerang is a traditional tool used in some Aboriginal communities. It returns to the path from which it was thrown and is a symbol of Aboriginal history. For us, this is a demonstration of the commitment and focus we have as a team, strengthening trust and building relationships with Aboriginal and Non- Aboriginal Australians. This resulted in four visually different artworks that feature similar messages of connection, equality, encouragement, promotion and recognition. We want this to be a returning message that we strive for now and into the future. - Environmental Services Team SA Water Corporation ABN Head office: 250 Victoria Square/Tarntanyangga Adelaide SA 5000 Postal address: GPO Box 1751 Adelaide SA Enquiries related to this plan should be directed to our Customer Service Centre on or via customerservice@sawater.com.au.
