Join us and vote for your favourite artwork!
Arana Hills Plaza is on Turrbal and Yuggera country, we pay our respect to the traditional owners, their elders past & present, and value their care and custodianship of these lands. We also acknowledge all First Nations peoples living upon the lands within which we operate.
We are excited for the return of our beloved Drawing Us Together Community Story, a project that celebrates indigenous culture through the creation of a children’s story book written by Indigenous student authors, in partnership with Bandu and illustrated by our local school students.
In celebration of NAIDOC Week 2026, we are proud to have partnered with student authors, each sharing their unique and inspiring stories that connect to this year's NAIDOC theme: '50 Years of Deadly.' Joined by our local primary schools, students were asked to submit a series of artwork to be featured as the illustrations within our community story book.
A selection of illustrations have been chosen as finalists and we’ll need your help to decide on the final illustrations to be included in the book.
