Wadawurrung people are the Traditional Owners of the country that now includes towns such as Ballarat and Geelong. The Wadawurrung people have looked after and cared for the land for thousands of generations, and are still caring for it today through the Wathaurung Aboriginal Corporation (trading as Wadawurrung) representing Traditional Owner interests at all levels of government and community. The corporation has a statutory role in the management of Aboriginal heritage values and culture within our region, under the Victorian Aboriginal Heritage Act, 2006.
