The proposed $20 million facility will provide safe, culturally appropriate and affordable short-term accommodation for Aboriginal people across the Kimberley region and beyond who travel to Kununurra to access a range of services or are visiting for business, cultural or family reasons.

The facility will accommodate up to 102 guests who will be able to stay for up to 28 days, the standard length of stay for Western Australia's three existing successful Aboriginal short stay facilities in Broome, Derby and Kalgoorlie.

Funded by the State Government’s WA Recovery Plan, the project is expected to support around 100 jobs during construction and generate about $41 million into the Kimberley economy.

Tender submissions close Thursday 3 March 2022 at 2.30pm AWST. Further details can be found on the Tenders WA website.
