Southern Cross Gold is committed to developing and maintaining relationships of mutual understanding and respect with the indigenous peoples of the areas in which the Company operates”
The Taungurung Land & Water Council (TLaWC) is the corporate representative of the Taungurung people. It was established in 2003 to advocate for Taungurung recognition and for land management rights with regard to traditional Country.
TLaWC was given Registered Aboriginal Party (RAP) status in 2009, allowing for Taungurung management of cultural heritage across the Taungurung estate which extends from Mt Hotham in the east to Rochester in the north and Kyneton in the south.
We will ensure that our employees and contractors approach the Company’s activities at culturally significant sites with understanding and recognition of the desire of indigenous peoples to fulfil their responsibilities within their traditional culture.

Establishment of the Clonbinane Community Reference Group is a significant milestone in building trusting, working relationships and promoting information sharing between SXG and the local community and stakeholders"
The purpose of the Community Reference Group is to provide a forum for discussion between SXG and community representatives and stakeholder groups on issues directly relating to our Sunday Creek exploration activities. While the Community Reference Group is not a decision-making or regulatory body, it provides valuable advisory and consultative assistance to SXG and allows us to keep the community informed about the company’s exploration activities.
In establishing the Community Reference Group, SXG is investing in the future of regional exploration and further enabling community members and stakeholders to seek information from us and provide feedback about exploration or future planning which may assist SXG with the delivery of balanced social, environmental and economic outcomes for the community including:

Wongarrunganyinyu ngalambunganyinu Taungurung biik-duwi.
We hereby express our respect for the Taungurung people, who are the Traditional Owners of the land on which we are based.
Manggi dhumbunganyinu gilbrak gundi Taungurung gulinh ba badjurr yinharrup daatba biik-dana yindha wubadjelanu-ganyinyu.
We pay our respects to their leaders and Elders past, present and emerging, for they hold forever the memories, traditions, culture and hopes of all Taungurung people.

We express our gratitude for the sharing of this land, our sorrow for the personal, spiritual and cultural costs of that sharing and our hope that we can walk forward together in harmony and the spirit of reconciliation.
The Taungurung sovereign flag, designed by Taungurung Elder Loraine Padgham and launched on 7 May 2021, symbolises the reassertion of the identity and pride of the Taungurung people.
