The building name

What's the story behind the name of our office building Yalawanyi Ganya?
Yalawanyi means “a place to sit” and Ganya means “hut, shelter or place” in Gathang.

Contributing Artist - Raechel Saunders

The continued connection of the Biripi people to the land is represented in this work “Connected”, created by Biripi woman and artist Raechel Saunders.
Raechel’s work tells the story of the Aboriginal people who have gathered on their country for generations and have a continuing connection to the land, to Country.

Contributing Artist - Brittany Cochrane

Created by Biripi woman and artist Brittany Cochrane, “Living as One on Biripi Country” tells a story of the passing down of Aboriginal culture through generations.
The inner circles and dots represent Biripi ancestors who have passed on their culture and traditions. The upside down ‘U’ symbolises present elders who continue to rejuvenate Aboriginal culture and traditions.

Sustainability is key

Environmental considerations, and the reduction of Council's carbon footprint were central to the development of the Yalawanyi Ganya building.
