Charter Hall

Welcome to Country Pillars

As part of Balarinji’s ongoing relationship with Charter Hall, one of Australia’s leading property groups, Balarinji delivered artworks for reconciliation signage at several Charter Hall office sites across Australia.

The pillars acknowledge the Country of each office and feature local Aboriginal artwork that represents and celebrates Aboriginal culture. 

Balarinji appointed and worked with eight Aboriginal artists with strong connections with the Country and cultural groups of each of the regions of Charter Hall’s state offices.
