Wadjemup Project Steering Group

The Wadjemup Project Steering Group is an advisory committee for Stage Two of the Wadjemup Project. Members include Mr Farley Garlett, Mr Neville Collard, Mr Herbert Bropho, Mrs Glenys Yarran, Ms Sandra Harben and Ms Karen Jacobs. 

The Wadjemup Project is an historic project to reconcile the history of Aboriginal people’s imprisonment on Wadjemup between 1838 and 1931. The Project is one of the first large-scale and genuine acts of recognition of the impact of colonisation on Aboriginal people. 

The Steering Group was elected by Whadjuk Elders to leads Stage Two which involves statewide consultation for the delivery of the truth-telling and ceremony strategies; the Quod conservation and future use strategy; and memorialisation of the Wadjemup Aboriginal Burial Ground.
