Working with the City of Whittlesea and Wurundjeri Woi-wurrung Traditional Owners (WWCHAC), Chris Johnston completed a ‘cultural values review’ designed to shape an approach to understanding the cultural landscape of the City of Whittlesea from an Aboriginal perspective. Project examples from Whittlesea, greater Melbourne and overseas were examined, and discussions held with Elders at each stage, resulting in recommendations to the City of Whittlesea. A second component outlined a framework to guide to the development of a narrative or narratives about Wurundjeri Woi-wurrung history, connections, Country and their significance.
