Major projects in the Kimberley region
The Ord-East Kimberley Expansion Project is a major State Government election commitment that will contribute to the successful development of Australia’s North and the transformation of Kununurra into a sustainable regional centre. Detailed information about the Ord-East Kimberley Expansion project is available in the Programs and Projects section.
The land allocated for the project is part of Miriuwung and Gajerrong traditional land, and was surrendered to the Western Australian Government in 2005 in the Ord Final Agreement (OFA). This agreement was a major step forward in acknowledging native title rights and moving towards a positive and sustainable future for the Miriuwung and Gajerrong people. The MG Corporation was established as a direct outcome of the OFA.
Land release planning in the Kimberley region
The availability of land is a significant factor in stimulating the social and economic growth of regional Western Australia. We work closely with a number of government and non-government agencies to prepare land for release for development.
For information about commercial and residential land releases planned for the Kimberley region please refer to LandCorp’s website.
If you have a query related to lands in the Kimberley region, please contact our Lands and Projects North team or the Kimberley Development Commission. Details are provided in Kimberley Region Contacts.
