Located near the Kwinana Freeway and Anketell Road intersection, the 400-person capacity community centre will provide a dedicated space where local multicultural community associations and clubs can come together to celebrate and share traditions.

The facility will support cultural events, educational programs and social activities to strengthen the connection between multicultural groups and the local area.

Saiva Maha Sabai of WA, a non-profit organisation that also operates the nearby Perth Bala Murugan Hindu Temple, will lead the development of the centre.

Their long-standing commitment to promoting social cohesion makes them ideal stewards of this important project.

The Cook Labor Government will also contribute $500,000 towards the success of the project.

Consistent with past practice, election commitments will be delivered in line with Commonwealth Grants Rules and Principles.

Comments attributed to Hon. Madeleine King, Federal Member for Brand:

“Kwinana and its surrounding areas are a shining example of Australia’s multicultural success story.

“Community members of all backgrounds deserve a space where they can come together, celebrate their heritage and build lasting connections.

“I’m very pleased that the centre will be built here in Kwinana and I look forward to being part of many special occasions here.”
