Randwick City Council and the La Perouse Local Aboriginal Land Council have unveiled a proposal to establish a dedicated First Nations Cultural Precinct on the La Perouse headland in south-east Sydney.

The project would see the existing La Perouse Museum restored and expanded, with the surrounding area developed into a cultural destination that reflects the ongoing connection of the local Aboriginal community to the site. The precinct would be co-designed with and led by community representatives.
