Project: Gudai-Darri Social Hub
A Social Hub to reshape, re-secure and redefine the social landscape for mining residents on the lands Banjima people.
The brief set the important and ambitious goal of transforming the ageing social fabric at Gudai-Darri mining village by improving key focus areas as identified in an independent survey report commissioned by EY. This introduced an element of corporate social responsibility in addressing declining resident sentiment and an environment with a range of psychosocial hazards.
Extensive site stakeholder engagement alongside close analysis of the report's data, resulted in the establishment of primary design objectives; diversity and inclusion, well-being, enabling and most importantly, safety. Through such engagement, a strategy was developed to deal with the vastness and soullessness of the existing built social spaces.
