Community Directory
This country is
Wiradjuri & Ngunnawal Country
Across the Hilltops, we acknowledge that this country is Wiradjuri and Ngunnawal country
In Hilltops we are conscious of the Wiradjuri and Ngunnawal people, the Indigenous men and women who managed these fertile valleys and plains for thousands of years before the first European settlers appeared. We respect their country, we value the opportunity to learn more about the culture that nurtured the land through tough or plentiful seasons, understanding the relationship between the spirits, the elements, the land, the creatures and the humans living there and passing through.
Hilltops Council has developed this Directory to support new residents to the area who are seeking local contact information for basic services. Information was correct at the time of publishing.
