Since 2013, myriad has been working closely with the Hope Vale Aboriginal Shire Council building team to see the construction of over 30 new residences. Each one has been built by the team, achieving exemplary rates of employment & training.
With long standing relationships, we have designed & documented a significant number of dwellings for these communities, with the aim to maximise the role of local workforce, thus creating training, employment and importantly local ownership.
