Yitpi Yartapuultiku - Setting a New Standard for Aboriginal Cultural Centres

Yitpi Yartapuultiku or “soul of Port Adelaide” in Kaurna language, is a new Aboriginal cultural centre currently under construction on the shores of the Port River, right in the heart of Port Adelaide.

You can see the centre really starting to take shape when driving past or going past on the train. It’s set to open its doors to the public in February 2025—only six months away.

The centre has been a long time in the making, and today, AW is sitting down with Place Leader Rodney Welch, Site Coordinator Rikki Wilson, and Chair of the Advisory Panel Susan Dixon to hear more about it and how it's setting a new standard for Aboriginal cultural centres.
