On a still Summer’s morning in Jandakot, our team were joined by Nyungar Birdiyia Elders Neville Collard and Farley Gartlett, to bless the site of the Perth Surf Park.
The local Elders performed a Nyungar spiritual ceremony, whereby grass was burned over fire, and those who walked through the smoke invited good spirits to come. It provided our team a unique opportunity to learn more about the culture of the place, and the storied history of its people.
While on site, the Elders also oversaw the safe extraction of the native Balga grass trees, which will be cared for during construction by a local nursery, and later reintroduced into the Perth Surf Park landscape.
Opening in late 2027, the Perth Surf Park will deliver an iconic sport, leisure, entertainment and tourism destination that is by the West, for the West.
