The Parents Room in the new North Quarter renovation Canberra Centre is a carefully planned and highly functional space, designed to be a fully inclusive space for all users, from parents and carers to children, of all genders, identities, and abilities. Colour is used in sophisticated yet unexpected ways to define zones, while curved elements soften and unify the spaces, creating an immersive and memorable experience for users. The inviting tones of the parents room facilities provide both spatial definition as well as a welcome contrast to the stimulating shopping mall environment.

We express our gratitude to their Elders and Knowledge Holders whose wisdom, actions and knowledge have kept culture alive.
We recognise First Nations peoples as the first architects and builders. We appreciate their continuing work on Country from pre-invasion times to contemporary First Nations architects, and respect their rights to continue to care for Country.
