Djinjama, in collaboration with Hassell, created a Precinct Plan for the New South Wales Parliament House. Designing with Country methodologies were used in the process to ensure the best outcomes for Country and Aboriginal communities. Engaging with community provided culturally informed observations, recommendations and a Reading of Country. Dr Danièle Hromek provided authorship of sections of the Precinct Plan, and comprehensive peer review to ensure cultural appropriateness and inclusion of First Nations’ values and understandings of Country.
Djinjama honours our connections to Country, community, culture and kin through our work. Djinjama’s projects actively interact with lands, waters and air, and as such we actively protect the rights of Country to be healthy in our work. We respect Traditional Custodians who have long cared for Country and aim to elevate First Voices in all our work. We are grateful to Elders and Knowledge Holders for their continued sharing of wisdom, story, language, and knowledge.
