Kununurra Reimagined is a planning and community engagement project to revive, redesign, and reshape our Town Centre and Foreshore through a Masterplan, funded by the Shire and State and Federal Governments

The Town Centre Project is a collaboration between MG Corporation, Kimberley Development Commission, the Shire and East Kimberley Chamber of Commerce. The Shire is leading the project and sharing information with the community. We’ve engaged planning consultants Hassell to run community forums and design surveys for you to share your vision for a reimagined Kununurra.

We went through a competitive public tender process and appointed Hassell Studio, one of Australia’s leading urban design and landscape architecture firms. They bring experience from similar projects in regional towns across Australia, and they’ll be visiting Kununurra several times to work on-site and meet the community.

You’re absolutely right – plenty of plans have come and gone. What makes Kununurra Reimagined different is the commitment to real implementation. We’re working closely with local partners like MG Corporation, the Chamber of Commerce, and the Development Commission to make sure it reflects local priorities and delivers results.

There are no guarantees in regional development, but this project already has strong momentum. It’s backed by both State and Federal Government funding, and we’ve built a 12-month engagement plan to involve the community every step of the way. We’re focused on real outcomes not just talk.

They’re both important. Traffic and access are being considered as part of this broader planning work, including how people move through town and connect with key locations. The foreshore is one of Kununurra’s most iconic assets, this is about making sure it’s accessible, safe and enjoyable for everyone, while tying it in with the town centre.
