Why this award-winning Indigenous centre is more than just a building

In between Erindale College and the heritage-listed skate park at Wanniassa is a curved ochre building which seems to blend into the natural landscape.

The building is the new Gugan Gulwan Youth Aboriginal Corporation, built to replace the ageing one-storey building on the site where the group has been since 2001.

Artwork is displayed on almost every wall inside Gugan Gulwan, but is also integrated into the walls, windows and railings. The atrium is dominated by a Bogong moth sculpture which hangs over open meeting and eating spaces.
