 == Preamble
 
-=== Scope
+=== Foreword
+In Australia there is no overarching naming authority. The ICSM PNWG brings together place name authorities from both Australia and New Zealand, working collaboratively to establish modern, inclusive, and consistent practices that reflect the evolving needs and values of our diverse communities. The PNWG has developed the Australian Place Naming Principles to provide a consistent and unified approach to place naming across the country.
+
+The principles replace the previous Principles for the Consistent Use of Place Names and are designed to address contemporary community expectations, with a particular focus on safety, cultural sensitivity and inclusivity. It recognises the critical role place naming plays in supporting a range of functions, including economic development, research, conservation, service delivery, and in reflecting the cultural identity and values of Australia.
+
+Aligned with the resolutions set out by the United Nations Group of Experts on Geographical Names, the principles adhere to international best practices while supporting Australian government authorities in updating and aligning local place naming policies. This ensures greater effectiveness in public services and better represents the diverse communities across the nation.
+
+The PNWG advocates for place naming that is inclusive and reflective of the diversity within our communities. In particular, the group acknowledges the significance of place names in promoting the wider use and appreciation of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander languages and cultures.
+
+While this document provides valuable guidance, the PNWG recognises that each state and territory in Australia has its own policies and practices. This document does not address the determination of state or territory names and boundaries, or Traditional First Nations Country or language group names and boundaries.
