The Dalki Guli Hub for the Goolum Goolum Aboriginal Cooperative has transformed a former commercial shell into a welcoming centre that provides important services and activities for the local and broader community.

The project provided an opportunity to work collaboratively with Goolum Goolum through a co-design approach to amplify Indigenous knowledge and cultural narrative within the overall design and is a reflection of the communities needs and input. 

It aims to provide a versatile space for the Goolum Goolum community and the broader community, to engage in health and wellness programs that promote understanding and respect.

The design of the building is rich in narrative and symbolism, featuring depictions of the Wimmera River, Hindmarsh and Albacutya lakes, Bunjil, birthing trees, scar trees, native animals…Every design choice has been made to create a place that is welcoming, safe, and offers healing.
