Construction of the new Kununurra Neighbourhood House at 7 Chestnut Avenue is complete and we have moved in!
Saturday September 12, 2020 was a momentous occasion for us - we officially opened the doors of our new House!
THANKYOU to Mirriwoong elder Agnes Armstrong and Shire President Dave Menzel for doing the honors and cutting the ribbon and to everyone who joined us to warm the House and fill it with the exceptional energy of this great community.
Special thanks to:
Kathryn Radford for your stamina, positivity and long term vision
Mark Phillips Architect for the welcoming, sustainable and functional design that fits us so well
MGC Building and Maintenance and all the contractors and consultants for executing the plan to such a high degree of excellence
and
ALL our supporters, donors and sponsors, especially Lotterywest, the State Government of Western Australia and the Kimberley Development Commission, Ord Fuel Supply, Lions Club of Kununurra, the Gatekeepers, Argyle Diamonds and the Water Corp and Broome Lions Club!
This building project as been led, driven and supported by our community and has been delivered through the strengths and skills of our community. Our local builder employs local people, sub contracts local trades and skills and the building of our new community facility has been a valuable training experience through their local indigenous apprenticeship program.
Upon the generous financial support of Kununurra people and businesses we were granted funds through Lotterywest and the Department of Regional Development's Regional Economic Development Scheme. This incredible support from the State Government of Western Australia enabled us to complete construction of the facility in a single stage - a long imagined and wondrous achievement!
Kununurra Neighbourhood House is a community space for all people in our community.
Please feel welcome to visit and enjoy all it has to offer.
The spirit within this project is why we love living in Kununurra. Local, local, local - together. Warm fuzzies!!!
