Groote Archipelago Housing Project

Groote Archipelago Housing Project is the incorporation The Groote Housing Master Plan and the Groote Housing Guide into a built project. The strategy was to improve the poorly built and culturally inappropriate houses in Groote Eylandt with 100 new houses. The project’s goal was to build no more than 6–10 culturally and climatically appropriate houses per year and design them for long term and in such a way that local contractors can do the work. The Fulcrum Agency began work on this project 7 years ago and it is ongoing.

We express our gratitude to their Elders and Knowledge Holders whose wisdom, actions and knowledge have kept culture alive.

We recognise First Nations peoples as the first architects and builders. We appreciate their continuing work on Country from pre-invasion times to contemporary First Nations architects, and respect their rights to continue to care for Country.
