The Koorie Heritage Trust Inc was established to protect, preserve and promote the living cultural heritage of the Indigenous people of South East Australia. In 1999, a new home in Lonsdale Street for the Trust was almost complete when it was tragically gutted by an arson attack. This project is a result of the Trust’s subsequent move to King Street where, in its new home, it aims to express its growth and maturity as Melbourne’s foremost Koorie cultural venue for both tourist and educational events. The design aspires to be an imaginative catalyst giving support to the process of reconciliation; healing, moving forward as well as honouring what has been before.
