Aurora Education Programs

Bringing Wurundjeri culture and local heritage into classrooms is part of a place-making initiative by Lendlease Communities for Aurora.

Aurora is an innovative new community in Melbourne’s north boasting a rich Aboriginal history, natural heritage values, European cultural heritage and a Six Star Green Rating.

Pioneering a shared history approach, our team worked with educators at the Wurundjeri Land and Compensation Cultural Heritage Council Aboriginal Corporation to develop and deliver a series of education programs about Aurora’s history to local schools.

The education programs, which we tailored to each school’s curriculum, are part of a much bigger interpretation program involving signage and solutions integrated with the landscaping that will be rolled out over several years.
