News & Updates
Our Vision is becoming reality....
Anyone who has stepped in our front door will agree that we have physically outgrown our Leichhardt Street house, we need more space to run our programs and help our community.
We are very lucky that SWEK (Shire of Wyndham and East Kimberley) has kindly reserved KNH some land on Chestnut Avenue. Local architect Mark Phillips has spent many hours drawing up the designs and preparing the documentation for our new purpose built centre, it's now shovel ready!
(Enormous thankyous to Lotterywest and SWEK for funding the design /documentation stage of this project).
Now the plans are shovel ready, our staff and committee are working hard to source funds to take the next step towards making our dream come true and to see the new Neighbourhood House built.
Find out more information about this exciting project and how you can help us, drop in or call 08 9168 1615 and speak to Kathryn or John.
Where are we at?
A shout from the rooftops!
Thanks to all the incredible support from local businesses and a humungously generous and amazing grant from Lotterywest and we will be able to construct the main part of the new building! Meanwhile KNH continues to grow our Big Vision Fund to provide a supportive place where, together, all people from of all walks of life become the foundations of a stronger, better neighbourhood. Before diving into construction, we are awaiting the outcome of recent funding applications in the hope that we are able to secure all the funds required to build the facility in its entirety, to include a stand alone Creche facility and new home for the Toy and Puzzle Library. Fingers, toes and eyes crossed!

The Kununurra Neighbourhood House provides vital services for families and their children and has certainly outgrown its current location. We can see the benefits that the new Kununurra Neighbourhood House centre will provide to the town and the community, especially following the loss of other community resources and services in recent times. OFS are happy to help with a project we think will be an important hub for the town in future.
