The Peel Business Park has now taken on dual-name to include the Noongar language, in recognition of the rich Aboriginal cultural heritage of the area.
The dual name, Nambeelup Kaadadjan, combines the estate's location in Nambeelup with the Noongar word for knowledge and information, in recognition of its role as a centre for innovation and learning.
The naming project, led by the Peel Development Commission and DevelopmentWA, worked closely with local Bindjareb Noongar Elder Mr George Walley of Mandjoogoordap Dreaming and elders across Murray and Mandurah.
The precinct was recognised as a place where business, industry, training, research and development come together to invigorate the region.
This philosophy mirrors the Bindjareb Noongar people's beliefs and values in the sharing of information and knowledge.
"The Peel Business Park continues its exponential growth and is creating significant economic growth and employment opportunities," Lands Minister John Carey said.
"I'd like to acknowledge Mr George Walley and the other Bindjareb Elders for their willingness to share their knowledge and stories throughout this process.
"The Noongar name for this innovative and forward-thinking precinct perfectly encapsulates its vision and the role it has to play in advancing industry knowledge.
"This new dual-name ensures we acknowledge and respect the long history and ongoing contribution of Aboriginal people in the region."
Two other key sites within the park have also been given Noongar names - the Shire of Murray's Food Innovation Precinct WA, also known as Mereny Bidi Boodja (food, pathway, country) and the Department of Fire and Emergency Services Bushfire Centre of Excellence, known as Karla Katitjin (fire knowledge).
