In partnership with Larrakia Nation, Charles Darwin University (CDU) will name its new Education and Community Precinct in the Darwin CBD Danala, the name for dillybag – which represents a place to house knowledge.
CDU is working with Larrakia Nation to restore place names and revitalise language across its campuses in the Northern Territory.
As a part of the process, CDU will co-name all new buildings and facilities with place names working with Aboriginal leaders to ensure they are written with the correct grammatical structure, concepts and vocabulary.
The new Education and Community Precinct, or Danala, is the centrepiece of the Darwin City Deal – a 10-year partnership between the Australian and Northern Territory governments and the City of Darwin to drive a more vibrant and liveable tropical capital city.
