Construction commences at the Pemulwuy Project, Redfern
The Aboriginal Housing Company (AHC) sees 2018 as a landmark year for the Pemulwuy Project.
Sydney, 17 January 2018 - Following the DA approval in 2012, the Pemulwuy Project construction commenced in early September last year with the demolition of the Murawina building and the AHC office at 106 Lawson Street. Architectural and engineering plans have now commenced for Precinct 1, with the main focus being the inclusion of the gallery. It is anticipated that the construction of Precinct 1 will commence within the first half of 2018.
2018 will see a continued focus on the plans for recreational areas at the Pemulwuy Project, with the AHC remaining committed to providing a sustainable future for the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community.
The Pemulwuy Project includes three adjacent precincts located on Eveleigh Street, opposite Redfern train station:
“We are excited to see the commencement of works of Precincts 2 and 3, and are especially motivated by the scheduled building of the affordable housing. Our board and staff have worked tirelessly on this project for many years and we are delighted to see that our plans for the future are underway.” said Alisi.
The Aboriginal Housing Company will be moving from their current Botany Road office to new premises, also on Botany Road, in the coming weeks and will continue to be readily available for any assistance required.

About the Aboriginal Housing Company
The Aboriginal Housing Company (AHC) is an independent non-profit charity and the first community housing provider in Australia, incorporated in 1973 as a company limited by guarantee. It is an all Aboriginal governed organisation, located in the heart of Redfern, which lies in the traditional lands of the Gadigal People, part of the Eora Nation.
The company was formed in direct response to the widespread discrimination Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people and families experienced in the private rental market. The AHC is self-funded and operates on income derived from rental properties. Affordable housing is located across Sydney and country regions in NSW.
A current focus is the redevelopment known as Pemulwuy Project. The redevelopment will breathe new life into Redfern and restore a strong and healthy Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community with an emphasis on cultural values, spirituality and employment. Pemulwuy Project will make Redfern the best urban Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community in Australia and in doing so, set the benchmark for all other communities.
