Acknowledgement

Whilst respectfully acknowledging the long time occupation of our land by its indigenous people and recognising their descendant’s capacity and desire to be the principal custodians of their own story, our focus is on the post-colonial era of Torquay.

Our Mission & Vision Explained

History, heritage, and culture are inextricably linked.  History provides the narrative of human experience.  Culture reflects the shared identity and practices of a community.  Heritage preserves the tangible and intangible legacies of the past.  They define Torquay’s identity, preserve its past, and shape its present and future, connecting individuals to their roots while guiding future generations.
