Culture is at the heart of this project, as is the commitment of the State Government to work in partnership with Aboriginal people on projects and services that affect them and their communities.
In a milestone for a major State Government infrastructure project, the structure of the Steering Committee includes Aboriginal members who provide cultural knowledge, guidance, and direction for the project.
During the business case phase of the project the Whadjuk Aboriginal Cultural Centre Cultural Authority (WACCCA) were the foundational members of the Steering Committee, recognising their role as the Centre’s host nation.

The expanded Steering Committee membership is joined by the Premier’s Parliamentary Secretary Jessica Stojkovski MLA who is appointed as the Steering Committee Chair as well as 9 representatives from State Government agencies and one from the Australian Government.
