National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultural precinct Ngurra to be built in Canberra

A new national Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultural precinct celebrating the diversity of Indigenous Australia will be built in Canberra.

The federal government has committed $316.5 million to developing Ngurra — meaning home, country or place of belonging — into a "place of national pride and significance" on Ngunnawal land.

The new cultural precinct will house the Australian Institute of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Studies (AIATSIS), and with it the world's largest collection of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultural and heritage items.

"This new world-class facility will contribute to our continuing journey of reconciliation, where Indigenous Australians can tell their stories, in the way they want, for all visitors to have a greater understanding of our shared history," Prime Minister Scott Morrison said.
