Jury comment
North Williamstown Station LXRP has created an engaging local place that helps to connect people and enhances the local character of the area. Its crafted and restrained approach reflects the community’s value of local heritage, as well as the cultural values of the Bunurong. The jury commends the collaborative engagement with the Bunurong Land Council Aboriginal Corporation, which led to the station precinct telling a story of the land; its sheltered green “campgrounds” and gathering places are complemented by inlays and etchings of water journeys and natural resources in the pavement.
North Williamstown Station LXRP was built in Williamstown, Victoria on the land of the Bunurong people.
