Project Overview

Woka Walla was engaged to deliver landscaping, concreting and site works at a major cultural tourism destination on Yorta Yorta Country, featuring a conference facility, interpretation centre and accommodation.

The works focused on preparing and shaping the external environment, delivering key landscape elements and concrete features to support visitor access, usability and presentation of the site.

This included construction of pathways, installation of site infrastructure, and delivery of a central fire pit and gathering area. A key feature was the inclusion of a stencil of the Yorta Yorta totem within the fire pit, embedding cultural identity into the built environment.

Woka Walla worked alongside builders and contractors to deliver these works in an active construction environment, ensuring the site was completed to a high standard and ready for public use.
