Where Eels Lie Down by Kamilaroi artist Reko Rennie is one of the features referencing Country in Parramatta Square.
Together with a dedicated team, including principal architect Dillon Kombumerri, a Yugambeh man from the Gold Coast in Queensland, they co-developed the .
Project stakeholders adopting the framework were committed to design built-environment projects that deliver positive outcomes both for Country and community.
“It's for Aboriginal communities to use on their projects to champion the outcomes that they would like to see there,” Ms Hyde says.
“It's for local government agencies to encourage them to engage appropriately and respectfully with Aboriginal communities on the projects that they're looking after.
It's also for architects and other built environment designers and developers to ensure that the projects that they are delivering are creating healthy Country outcomes.”
Five years in the making, the framework has incorporated elements of Country-led approaches seen in already existing projects, like Parramatta square.
“It was designed with Dharug cultural knowledge holders right from the outset,” Ms Hyde explains.
“So, there was a very embedded process working with community in the development of the plans for the square.”
Country-led design reasserts the primacy of the place where an infrastructure project is situated.
