About Larrakia Cultural Centre

The Larrakia Cultural Centre is scheduled to open in September 2026 and will be a place for Larrakia people to share, celebrate and showcase Larrakia Country, language, culture and knowledge with the world. The Larrakia people are the Traditional Owners of the lands and waters in and surrounding Darwin, including Darwin Harbour. The Larrakia are ‘saltwater people’ and consist of nine family groups, with over 2,600 people living in and around Darwin. For over 20 years, Larrakia people have pursued plans for a cultural centre and have now secured funding to develop the Larrakia Cultural Centre at the Darwin Waterfront, adjacent to the Stokes Hill sacred site. Our logo and building design evokes a Larrakia ancestral being, a bird in flight, protecting the land and the people. Much like the Larrakia Cultural Centre whose vision is to preserve and protect the Larrakia culture, language, arts and traditions for future generations. Culture is at the core of the Larrakia Cultural Centre business model, and we will be sharing Larrakia culture with visitors from around the World through art, language, story-telling, ceremonies and protocols. The Larrakia Cultural Centre will be owned and governed by Larrakia for future generations, providing employment, business and income opportunities and is a project of the Larrakia Development Corporation.
