The Larrakia Cultural Centre Working Group was formed in 2017 to provide advice into the Larrakia Cultural Centre’s purpose and design. We value their inputs and contributions as we progress the Larrakia Cultural Centre.

“The LDC has pursued the development of the LCC since 2005. The LCC will be a centre for Larrakia people to explore and showcase their culture, language and history. The LCC will provide social and economic opportunities and development to all Territorians. Like all LDC projects, the LDC will develop and operate the LCC for all Larrakia.”
“I joined the working group in 2017 as I want to see a place for Larrakia to celebrate their culture and for the world to recognise our place as the original custodians of the Darwin region.”
“The Larrakia Cultural Centre is a place for all Larrakia people to come together, teach our culture and keep our Larrakia stories alive for future generations on Larrakia land.”
“I have been involved since 2018 and was honoured to create the original paintings that now form the LCC logo. I am honoured to finally have my ancestral country recognised and respected through the Larrakia Cultural Centre for my grandchildren and great grandchildren.”
“Larrakia people and country are still here, and the Larrakia Culture Centre will hold, share and celebrate past, present and emerging Larrakia history… about us – our old and young people, our land, our culture, our language, of our achievements, of our struggles and survival for current and future generations. I am proud to be a part of the Working Group to realise the Larrakia Culture Centre.”
“The development of the long awaited Larrakia Cultural Centre will achieve an aspirational milestone for the Larrakia people. The facility will be a landmark for recognition and respect for the ongoing culture and spiritual affiliation of the Larrakia to our ancestral lands.”
“I want to be a great Ancestor, reconnecting us with our Ancestral Treasures, speaking our language, singing our songs and dancing our dance and instil a deep knowledge in our future generations.”
“It is a great achievement for the Larrakia people to finally celebrate the Larrakia Cultural Centre, showcasing our history and the journey of our Elders; teaching, growing and nourishing ours and future generations. I am proud to be part of the Working Group.”
