A new Kununurra Collaboration Group, comprising the Shire of Wyndham East Kimberley, MG Corporation, East Kimberley Chamber of Commerce and Industry (EKCCI), and Kimberley Development Commission (KDC), has been formed to advance the Kununurra Town Centre Revitalisation project. This group aims to ensure the project meets community vision and enhances the town’s infrastructure, public spaces and liveability.
The revitalisation presents an exciting opportunity to reimagine Kununurra’s future, leveraging its strengths to develop a vibrant, welcoming town centre for residents, local businesses, investors, and visitors.
The Shire has secured $327,500 in grant funding from the State Government through KDC, supplemented by a $50,000 contribution and dedicated staff resources from the Shire. These funds will support the development of a strategic planning document — the first step in securing future project funding and shaping a long-term vision for the town.
The revitalisation will unfold over time, with some initiatives implemented in the short term and others evolving over the coming years. However, all actions will align with a vision co-created with the community through the planning process.
Community input is essential, and residents are encouraged to participate in upcoming consultations to help shape the town’s future. The Shire will provide regular project updates over the next six months. Those interested in getting involved can reach out via email at mail@swek.wa.gov.au.
