Connecting with Country Framework
Government Architect NSW (GANSW)

The Connecting with Country Framework is  a NSW Government guidance document that outlines best practice for  integrating Aboriginal cultural knowledge into the planning, design, and  delivery of built environment projects. It promotes a Country-centred  approach that recognises the deep relationships between people, culture, and  place, and emphasises collaboration with Aboriginal communities. The  framework provides principles, actions, and case studies to support  sustainable, culturally responsive, and inclusive design outcomes that  enhance environmental stewardship, community wellbeing, and respect for  Aboriginal heritage.
