- Lots previously leased to the Town of Port Hedland
- Site to be repurposed as new Playspace and dog recreation area
The State Government has transferred two lots in South Hedland to the Town of Port Hedland for a new Playspace precinct and dog activity space to revitalise area.
The two lots in Kennedy Street, South Hedland, are currently vested in the Department of Communities and were leased to the Town of Port Hedland for the development of the Marquee Waterpark which opened to the community in 2013.
The Town of Port Hedland will now repurpose the sites for a new Playspace Precinct and dog recreation area, which has been identified as a significant community need.
Comments attributed to Lands Minister John Carey:
"Our Government continues to work with regional local governments to unlock lazy government land for housing or other developments that offer real benefits to regional communities.
"It's fantastic that the transfer of these lots will allow the Town of Port Hedland to proceed with its infrastructure and redevelopment plans for a new Playspace and dog recreation space to revitalise the area."
Comments attributed to Pilbara MLA Kevin Michel:
"This is great result for the South Hedland community and demonstrates the Cook Government's commitment to delivering better outcomes for our regional communities.
"This new Playspace area and dog activity space will be a great addition to the South Hedland community for now and into the future."
