Projects like Ingleburn Logistics Park represent a special opportunity for Taylor to honour its vision for reconciliation. 

La Perouse Local Aboriginal Land Council Representatives Leslie Mcleod, Owen Wards and Jesse Currie held the Smoking Ceremony to cleanse the site in preparation for Stage 3’s construction, which is due for completion around March 2023.  

Uncle Leslie led a moving Traditional Smoking Ceremony on the land of the Dharawal People where attendees including Taylor’s Jerry Fanos, General Manager Industrial, and Stockland’s Tony D’Addona Executive General Manager Logistics walked the site.   

A traditional smoking ceremony marked the commencement of Charter Hall’s Horsley Drive Business Park, Buildings 2 & 3 – an industry-leading precinct located at Wetherill Park.

Guests joined La Perouse Local Aboriginal Land Council Representatives, Owen Wards and Jesse Currie, proud Yuin, Dharawal and Ngarigo men, to lead on the site of the new development, which is due for completion in May 2023.

The cultural tradition of a smoking ceremony is undertaken to cleanse an area, protect a build site, and show respect to Elders past and present.

Brendan Kerin from the Metropolitan Local Aboriginal Land Council performed a traditional smoking ceremony at Rosebery Engine Yards, with attendees and the site smoked and cleansed for protection. This reflective and rewarding morning was a chance for attendees to reflect on the heritage and history of Rosebery Engine Yards – a development that pays homage to the past but looks boldly towards the future.   

The 11,650 square metre development is defined by a large-scale, single storey floor plate, and sits on 1.9 hectares stretching an entire block in Rosebery. It is considered one of the largest heritage brownfield developments in the area. 

Architecturally striking and cleverly refurbished, Rosebery Engine Yards will feature soaring sawtooth ceilings, retained timber framework and exposed brickworks – a collection of bespoke workspaces rooted in authenticity and reimagined for a new era. 

La Perouse Local Aboriginal Land Council Representatives, Owen Wards and Jesse Currie, led the smoking ceremony at ESR’s new development, Lot 204 Horsley Logistics Park.

ESR Australia has secured Lot 204 Horsley Logistics Park, which offers brand new, A-grade industrial and logistics facilities. With a site area of over 40,000sqm, the project is split across the construction of two warehouses, in addition to two, two-level offices, awnings, pavement and carparking.

Ms Prentis partners with Roseville College in the work of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander education and Reconciliation, sharing a message of Reconciliaton as friendship. She joined guests of Taylor and Roseville College including Roseville College Principal, Ms Deb Magill, past-Principal and Council member, Mrs Elaine Collin, and student leaders from Junior and Senior school, along with Taylor attendees.

This modest yet important ceremony saw Roseville College and Taylor mark a major milestone in the development of the College’s Sport and Wellbeing Centre. Cultural engagement marked the start of bulk earthworks and construction, with Roseville College students given a rare opportunity to gain first-hand insights into an active construction site.

Listening to and being led by an Aboriginal person and friend sharing about the significance of Country to Aboriginal peoples before digging the soil was deeply sincere and moving.

Ms Prentis spoke of the true history of “these lands now called Australia” and how we all can, and must, participate in Reconciliation with “truth, justice, love, and hope”.
