Balarinji was appointed to the design team as a member of the winning WSP-Aecom Bid Consortium. Balarinji’s role was to advise and provide Designing with Country principles that would translate an Aboriginal layer across the project, ensuring integration of local Aboriginal culture and values into the overall design and built environment framework.
Through research and collaboration with the local Aboriginal community, Balarinji developed a set of Designing with Country principles to support design outcomes, to help deepen a sense of Place and understanding of the Aboriginal context (cultural, physical and spiritual).
