LXRP Indigenous Design Guidelines | VIC
Level Crossing Removal Project
The Indigenous Design Guidelines developed and implemented by the Level Crossing Removal Authority is an outstanding planning project which provides an exemplar for the respectful integration of Indigenous Design narratives in public infrastructure projects. It promotes recognition, understanding, appreciation, awareness and celebrates Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander culture in the context of land use planning and management.
With a rigorous and transferable methodology, the project demonstrates the benefits of early engagement with Traditional Owners and a collaborative approach to planning and designing with Country. The Indigenous Design Guidelines have delivered tangible outcomes with community support and engendered a new sense of pride in place. The well documented methodology provides a benchmark for other planning and built environment projects; with a clear process for early engagement, collaboration with Indigenous professionals, respectful integration of Cultural knowledge and narratives and the delivery of innovative outcomes.
