We’re proud to celebrate the opening of the newly relocated Warriappendi School. Delivered in partnership with the Department for Education, South Australia, JPE Design Studio, BADGE Constructions, Linking Futures, and the Department for Infrastructure and Transport (DIT), this project reflects a true collaborative effort. Yanun was honoured to contribute through our project management services, helping transform the school’s vision into reality - a dynamic, future-focused environment that supports learning, growth, and opportunity.

Yanun is proud to be working alongside Yalu Aboriginal Corporation, a Yolŋu organisation based in Galiwin’ku, on the Yalu Children and Family Nest project (Yalu Djagamirr Marrngithinyaraw’mirr ga djaga manymak’mirr djamarrkuli’w). This significant, community-led initiative will deliver vital infrastructure that supports family reunification and strengthens social and emotional wellbeing outcomes for Yolŋu children, families, and the wider community.

Torrensville Bowling Club has relocated to a new $9.6 million facility in Thebarton, featuring 24 synthetic rinks—12 under a weatherproof dome—a spacious clubhouse, and upgraded function spaces. Delivered by Yanun Project Services, the RiverDome ensures the club’s long-term future while offering a modern, inclusive space for sport, events, and community connection.

At Yanun, our journey is woven into the fabric of Country, culture, and connection. As we grow, we carry these foundations forward, ensuring they are reflected in all we do—including the powerful artwork that now hangs proudly in our boardroom.

At Yanun Project Services, we believe in leadership that inspires, innovates, and drives lasting change. This belief was powerfully affirmed when our Co-Founder and Executive Director, Jessica MacDonald, was named the recipient of the National Association of Women in Construction (NAWIC) National President’s Choice Award.

The article explores how Yanun, founded in 2019 by Ngarrindjeri veteran David Mallett, is creating meaningful pathways for First Nations people in project management and controls.

At Yanun, we’re proud of the leadership and vision that our Executive Director, David Mallett, brings to the table. As a proud Ngarrindjeri man, David has dedicated his career to bridging the gap for Indigenous Australians in industries that have historically been underrepresented. His journey, both personal and professional, has been a remarkable one - transforming challenges into opportunities for himself and his community. 

In a compelling opinion piece published by HRM Online, Ngarrindjeri man David Mallett challenges prevailing perceptions about Indigenous employment in Australia. He emphasizes the need to create career pathways for First Nations people beyond traditional sectors, advocating for their inclusion in high-growth industries such as bio-science, space, and defence.
