They were supported by Noongar tradesmen and supervisors, as well as Wadgela tradesman, engineers and the project coordinator. Over the two years, many other people from the regional community were involved, including the Town of Albany's road construction team, Havoc carpentry team, Kosters Steel Constructions, Mt Martin Botanic Park Committee, the Albany Wildflower Society and others. Many people gave their time freely to participate in steering committees and field trips and advise on the history of local flora and fauna. Some obtained formal certificates in areas such as numeracy and literacy, first aid, carpentry, horticulture, spray painting, chainsaw and power tools operation and occupational health and safety. Pathways presented solid evidence to the local and regional community that real outcomes could be achieved when people get together and work towards agreed objectives.
All parties are now willing to work together on future projects.
Pathways is now recognised as a major initiative in tackling the background issues covered in the Royal Commission into Aboriginal Deaths in Custody, which recommended that Aboriginal people should be more involved in land management and national parks. They were not just the Noongar neighbours now, but faces with names of real and willing people achieving something that could be shared.
