PROJECT
East Newman Precinct Structure Plan
The East Newman Precinct Structure Plan is an innovative approach, led by Nyiyaparli and Martu to improve health, wellbeing and educational outcomes of residents living in East Newman through investment into families, amenities and housing.
Co-designed by Karlka Nyiyaparli Aboriginal Corporation, Jamukurnu Yapalikurnu Aboriginal Corporation and Puntukurnu Aboriginal Medical Service, the plan is designed by the people, for the people – people who have walked this country for 60,000 years.
The judges were impressed with how the team worked to respect the community, from the engagement design through community activations, workshops, artist studios, community gatherings, and co-design planning sessions.
By doing this, they have created the template for a safer, more inclusive community for future generations where all can benefit from better health, wellbeing, education and employment opportunities.
