The new Wami Kata Old Folks Home

May 1, 2025

 

The new Wami Kata Old Folks Home in Davenport Community near PortAugusta on Barngarla and Nukunu Country has strated construction. A state of the art culturally approriate home for elders accross the South Australia. A true collaboration between people and culture to amplify Country.

Over the last 7 years Kaunitz Yeung Architecture has collaborated with a wide range of elders, cultural knowledge holders, communities and other professionals to develop a better approach to culturally appropriate aged care. As the next series of projects start construction we look forward to sharing our learnings in more detail.

We look forward to sharing more of this project soon.

We acknowledge and respect the Barngarla and Nukunu people as the Traditional Custodians of the ancestral lands. We pay respect to all Aboriginal cultural groups and individuals. This place has always been a meeting place, with members of many different language groups living there.
