Two projects set to revitalise community open space in the City of Melville and celebrate the area's Noongar culture have received more than $2.8 million in support from Lotterywest.
The Goolugatup Heathcote Lowerlands Renewal Project was awarded a $2.35 million grant to transform an underutilised site in Applecross on the banks of the Derbarl Yerrigan (Swan River) into a place of healing and community connection.
The place-based reconciliation project has been designed in close collaboration with the area's Traditional Owners to create a community space that preserves and showcases the area's Noongar cultural knowledge and history.
