Metro<\/a> is proud to be working with its new First Nations community partner, Barrbunin Beek<\/a> supporting the delivery of programs that meet the First Nations community\u2019s needs.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Located in Olympic Park, West Heidelberg, Barrbunin Beek means \u2018happy place\u2019 in the Woiwurrung language.<\/p>\n

Barrbunin Beek is a place for local Aboriginal and Torres Strait people to meet and build community through a series of different programs.<\/p>\n

Metro\u2019s Senior Adviser, Indigenous Affairs Jhdara Jones said the partnership will increase women\u2019s and children\u2019s programs and, in turn, increase engagement and participation for First Nations families to grow connection.<\/p>\n

“At Metro, we’re genuinely excited to join hands with Barrbunin Beek Aboriginal Gathering Place on the path towards reconciliation and enabling self-determination,” he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt’s a commitment to walk together, learn from each other, and create meaningful opportunities.\u201d<\/p>\n

Barrbunin Beek\u2019s Kristen Munro says she is looking forward to the programs the partnership will facilitate.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur new partnership with Metro trains will allow us to empower our Women and Boorais (Children) by accessing existing and new programs at Barrbunin Beek that are designed to strengthen their connection to Culture, create new kinship networks and encourage self-determination and self-empowerment of all involved.\u201d<\/p>\n

The partnership aligns to Metro\u2019s commitment to reconciliation and support self-determination of Victoria\u2019s First Nation\u2019s communities.<\/p>\n
