The project would be funded by the Victorian Government as part of the state’s commitment to the Treaty process, and would stand as a symbol of reconciliation.

City of Melbourne has released potential sites of the project including Enterprize Park, Victoria Harbour Pier in Docklands, a site near Queen Victoria Market, and a site between Federation Square and Batman Avenue.

The idea has already garnered support from First Nation’s groups, and the state government is considering its involvement in the project.
