Tender Description

The NCA is seeking a design and construction contractor to deliver an engaging and high quality Commemoration to Wiradjuri Elders Nangar (Jimmy Clements) and Ooloogan (George John Noble), who walked from Brungle Aboriginal Mission near Tumut NSW, over the Brindabella Ranges, to attend the opening of Parliament House in Canberra in May 1927.

Clements and Noble’s attendance at the event is considered to be a significant milestone in the history of indigenous activism.

The delivery team should include the following key personnel:

  • Sculptor/artist with experience in the design and fabrication of full body, cast bronze statues.
  • Designer (landscape architect or architect) with skills in placemaking/urban design to design a commemorative setting to suit the sculptures.
  • Construction team to coordinate and deliver all works required to successfully complete the commemoration.
  • It is expected the Commemoration will be completed in time to coincide with events planned to mark the centenary of the opening of Old Parliament House in May 2027.
