As part of a vision for reconciliation, organisations need to create equitable, inclusive and sustainable societies for today and future generations.  In Australia, all projects exist on a First Nations country and there is a need to seek to connect the work that we do today to the enduring culture and history of our First Nation’s people. We have a strong, rich history that should be celebrated and included.

By collaborating with Traditional Owners through co-design principals and engaging in respectful, authentic and ethical discussions, incorporating Indigenous knowledge and culture in the designs of infrastructure and built environment projects, organisations play a key role in creating strong and culturally respectful relationships with Indigenous communities and connection to the land.

WSP has been at the forefront of indigenous design and engagement for a number of years and have seen fantastic results delivered for clients, First Nation’s people and local communities.

Join us as Allan Murray, Principal Consultant, Aboriginal Affairs at WSP discusses the ways in which the organisation has made indigenous design and consulting a key part of their business and the impact this has had on their clients and the community.
