GLADSTONE’S LNG INDUSTRY GETS BEHIND NAIDOC WEEK CELEBRATIONS

NAIDOC Week celebrations are held across Australia each July to celebrate the history, culture and achievements of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. NAIDOC is celebrated not only in Indigenous communities but by Australians from all walks of life. The week is a great opportunity to participate in a range of activities and to support your local Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community.

This year NAIDOC Week is being celebrated from 7-14 July. In Gladstone, the LNG industry is getting behind NAIDOC Week by funding a joint LNG Industry Picnic Day. The Picnic Day, being held on 12 July is not only for the Aboriginal and Islander communities but everyone who wants to support the celebrations and help increase awareness in the broader community of status and treatment of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Australians.
