Aboriginal Gathering Place

On the ridgeline at bunjil nganga: A community-led gathering place takes shape

The Aboriginal Gathering Place at bunjil nganga Parkland is the first standalone Aboriginal-led gathering place in Melbourne's northern metropolitan region. Designed by fjcstudio for the City of Whittlesea, the building, known on the project as the Welcoming Building, uses LYSAGHT DOMINION® walling in COLORBOND® steel Copper Penny and Dune® Matt, with a LYSAGHT KLIP-LOK 700 HI-STRENGTH® roof in COLORBOND® steel Surfmist®. The materials were chosen to ground the curved, community-led form to its Country setting.
