WHAT WE
DID
Brief
DLG SHAPE, in collaboration with Hassell, Bateup Consulting, Gambarra, GreenChair and Cablewise, have completed a refurbishment of Indigenous Desert Alliance’s (IDA’s) new headquarters, The Desert Hub.
The Desert Hub Includes
- Entrance, welcome and cultural engagement space that strongly reflects the desert it is welcoming and embracing
- Formal and informal meeting places, spacious and flexible formal meeting places complement the informal yarning places in the Desert Hub
- A highly flexible place for collaboration and functions
IDA is an Indigenous-led, member-based organisation that plays a vital role in building resilience for desert ranger programs and ensuring that Indigenous rangers are enabled to collaboratively manage the Australian desert.
The Desert Hub is IDA’s new headquarters and the primary meeting point for desert rangers when they journey to the capital city of Perth, situated on Whadjuk Noongar Country. It also acts as homely space for IDA members and desert ranger teams to host events, conduct workshops and deliver training. The culturally safe space contains offices, meeting rooms and versatile areas for content creation, hosting families, clients, IDA members, and, most importantly, spaces for yarning.
