With the LCC’s continual progress we will continue to value the inputs of the LCC Working Group’s contribution. The LCC Working Group was formed in 2017 to provide advice into the LCC’s purpose and design. Say hi to the LCC’s Working Group.

“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.”
“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 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.”
“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.”
“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.”
