Cultural centre to heal rifts

Construction is to begin on a multimillion-dollar cultural healing centre in Broome, after a turning of the sod ceremony last week.

Representatives from Nyamba Buru Yawuru were joined by politicians, indigenous elders and community members behind their office in the Kimberley town, where the Liyan-Ngan Nyirrwa facility will be built.

A number of programs will be rolled out at the $6 million centre, which will also be a meeting place for the community and improve the connection of the Yawuru people with their traditional practices.
