HH Architecture’s Post

All the talking points from this year's Housing Brighton conference ➡️ https://bit.ly/3JX5SX9 Taken from our member-exclusive publication, CIH Unlocked 🔓 #UKHousing #HousingBrighton24

Now is the time for change ! Now is the time for our Elders, those with lived experience and our young people to be listened to ! Now is the time to close the gap ! Now is the time to stop doing what research and the many reports continue to clearly demonstrate what does not work in our justice system and continues to cost more and more money each year and listen to our Elders and Leaders who have the answers ! The Myalup initiative has been 8 years in the planning, from the time Western Australia was selected as the location for the first national prototype, the selection of the site by the Elders, through to the planning by the national codesign team of the site layout, buildings, facilities, and program design. This has involved 36 Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people engaged in the justice system and 28 Aboriginal Elders and leaders from across Australia codesigning the whole initiative. The codesign principles have ensured that the program, the whole site layout and every building design is integrated into the environment where connection to the land and culture forms a foundational element of design for the healing process. The FISH Myalup Initiative is significant as it has been designed by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people to provide a place where First Nations people aged 16-35 can heal and receive holistic support to break intergenerational cycles of trauma, avoid (re)engagement in the justice system and contribute positively to society. Last week the FISH National Codesign Team came together again to continue to add more detail to the program and to the architectural drawings as we begin the process to move to Building Licences now the whole 11 hectare site has received full Development Approval by the State Government of Western Australia.   Now is the time for change ! The question is will the State Government and the Australian Government listen to our Elders, Leaders, those with lived experience and our young people and be willing to walk shoulder to shoulder with them to bring healing and break the cycle of intergenerational engagement in the justice system for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people through the full implementation of the FISH Myalup Karla Waangkiny Healing & Justice Initiative. Not only is this about justice and creating a safe and secure community where all people are valued and able to positively contribute to their community but it makes economic sense !
