Causeway Pedestrian and Cyclist Bridges Project

This exemplary co-designed project which from the outset is based on engagement with the Traditional Owners of the land and waters. From pre-feasibility through site selection to final design and construction, the cultural significance and interpretation of the place has been paramount. The is, demonstrated through every aspect of design. The inclusion boomerang and digging stick pylons and limiting the bridge to only three piers to minimise spiritual disturbance of this important site demonstrates the remarkable scale Causeway Link Alliance’s commitment to interpreting the Noongar culture and history, reversing the usual subservience of culture to budget.

The innovative procurement methodology which permitted stakeholder engagement during the tender phase, enabling proponents to better understand the cultural significance of the project and the site, further demonstrates lengths to which the Alliance has gone to ensure that the local Noongar culture and the significance of the place is integral to the completed project. The completed project includes co-designed public art by leading and emerging Noongar artists, a corroboree space and interpretive signage explaining the significance of the site and sharing site-specific stories, passed from generation to generation. This project is a guiding light for others, demonstrating excellence in 黑料大事 with Country for all others to emulate.
