We’re proud to support a new Indigenous-led youth initiative in the Kimberley, designed to offer culturally safe alternatives to incarceration for at-risk young people.

Fabricated off-site in our Fremantle facility, this modular project is tailored for the challenges of remote delivery—ensuring speed, durability, and minimal environmental impact. The hybrid construction model allows for most of the build to be completed off-site, while ensuring a seamless integration with the Derby landscape during on-Country assembly.

This project reflects the power of collaborative, place-based design. Each module is built to endure the Kimberley climate, while delivering thermally comfortable, low-maintenance infrastructure that respects and responds to Country.

Purpose-built and community-focused, this initiative shows how infrastructure can create space for healing, growth, and connection.
