Communities CBD

The land surrounding the Boorloo (East Perth) Campus was once a tapestry of freshwater creeks and wetlands channelled from the Derbal Yerrigan (Swan River) which served as a central water source, an important meeting place and campsite for the Whadjuk Noongar people. 

Drawn by Dr Richard Walley, a Noongar man, and guided by Communities staff, Turner Design was engaged to develop the line drawings into wall graphics to be applied throughout the building.  The designs interpret the wetlands, freshwater lakes and birdlife that once thrived in the area.
