Our Reconciliation Journey
The Webuild Group in Australia is committed to working with one another, and our communities to achieve a common vision for reconciliation
Webuild acknowledges the Traditional Custodians of the lands on which we work and live, the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples. We pay our respect to their Elders past, present and emerging and their continued care for this land.
Our first Innovate Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP) was launched in 2020, and over this time, the Group has embedded more than 189 actions and initiatives to drive positive change for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples by delivering employment, education, and business opportunities and providing our workforce with experiences to reflect on and immerse themselves in the world’s oldest continuing living cultures.
Our vision
Our vision for reconciliation is to deliver consistent, long-term positive impact by leveraging our scale and influence to support Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and businesses to participate, grow and thrive through meaningful partnerships.
Highlights of our Reconciliation Journey
Community partnerships
We’ve partnered with four organisations to improve outcomes for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples. We work closely with the Clontarf Foundation, Stars Foundation, and Starlight Children’s Foundation’s Healthier Futures Initiative, additionally we are a proud partner of Supply Nation.
SSTOM Project Engagement
On the Stations, Systems, Trains, Operations and Maintenance (SSTOM) works project for Sydney Metro – Western Sydney Airport, the team has engaged with 22 Aboriginal businesses, awarding 40 contracts to those Aboriginal businesses, achieving 50% of the project’s Aboriginal business engagement target with just 24% of the project complete. This is a significant accomplishment towards reaching the project’s overall Aboriginal engagement commitments.
Meet the artist behind our RAP artwork
Madeleine Edwards is a proud Jaru woman from the East Kimberley, Western Australia whose roots run deep in Halls Creek and Kununurra, where much of her family still resides.
A self-taught graphic designer and multi-disciplinary artist, Madeleine combines traditional and contemporary techniques to create works that honour her cultural heritage while embracing modern storytelling mediums. Her practice spans digital art and acrylic paintings on canvas, where she draws upon the striking natural beauty of Jaru Country. Madeleine’s work has been commissioned by various organisations, including Tourism WA, the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions, Centurion, Better Health Company, and DWER. Whether working on personal projects, community-focused initiatives, or client-driven commissions, her art carries the spirit of connection, storytelling, and the timeless beauty of her culture.
The artwork | Building Reconciliation Together
This artwork celebrates the strength and possibilities that come from coming together. It reflects the journey of Webuild and Clough over the past two years - two organisations joining to create a shared foundation rooted in care, collaboration and respect. At its heart, the piece is about connection. It honours the relationships that make meaningful reconciliation possible - between teams, partners, suppliers, subcontractors and the wider community. It recognises the importance of walking alongside one another, sharing knowledge, listening, and building trust together. It also speaks to growth. From these strong foundations and connections comes the opportunity to create more meaningful outcomes for reconciliation, expanding impact through collaboration and shared purpose. The artwork invites reflection on the past, celebration of progress, and optimism for the journey ahead. Overall, it is a story of unity, shared responsibility and hope - showing that when people come together with intention and care, they can build lasting connections, stronger foundations, and a brighter future for everyone.
