In recognition of NAIDOC Week, we headed to the Henry Lawson Drive Stage 1A project to speak with Quickway and Aboriginal Elders Uncle Wayne and Uncle Mick about how their partnership brought about better cultural outcomes for the project and local community.
We are partnering with the Culture in Construction Taskforce to trial their draft Culture Standard for the Construction Industry on the Mulgoa Road Stage 1 project out in Western Sydney.
In partnership with the NSW Indigenous Chamber of Commerce we ran pre-qualification workshops to support more Aboriginal businesses to enter the supply chain.
The Aboriginal Participation Strategy supports our Stretch Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP) to influence Aboriginal community economic development and create more opportunities for involvement in our projects.
We caught up with Gabrielle Trainor AO, Chair of the Culture in Construction Taskforce, to find out what the Culture Standard is and what we are looking to test by piloting it with industry on the Mulgoa Road Stage 1 project.
