DevelopmentWA recognise that all land is important to Aboriginal people.

We are committed to continuing our work with the Whadjuk community on the Ocean Reef Marina project and seek to understand and pay respect to Whadjuk history and stories through the development.

Extensive work has been undertaken to ensure Aboriginal culture and heritage is appropriately respected and integrated through the Project's planning, design and development.

Working with Yunga Foundation

DevelopmentWA are working closely with the Yunga Foundation, an Aboriginal owned and led business, to engage local Whadjuk people and obtain their input to the Ocean Reef Marina project.

Yunga’s role is to facilitate engagement with Traditional Owners and Aboriginal people to ensure Ocean Reef Marina is a place where the Whadjuk culture is celebrated through landscape design, art, language, business, and interpretive spaces – where connection to country will be reflected through Aboriginal business and job opportunities. The Traditional Owners engaged through Yunga, have the cultural and legal authority to speak for the Whadjuk area at Ocean Reef and some of their feedback is captured below.
