Busy Year Ending on High Notes Mar 10th, 2016
Last year was a busy one for Bundiyarra, and it finished on a high note with City of Greater Geraldton CEO, Ken Diehm's announcement that the Corporation had been granted $30,000! Mr Diehm was a guest at Bundiyarra's Christmas party on 17 December and relayed the good news that a grant had been approved through Round 17 of the City's Community Grants Program. The program is designed to provide assistance to local community groups and organisations that make positive contributions to the quality of life in the Greater Geraldton region.

The funding will be used to further develop the Muguri or Dream Trails tourist experience at Bundiyarra, that's planned to attract tourism and boost the not-for-profit organisation's economic future. Bundiyarra CEO, Marchelle Retallack, said "she was thrilled that the Corporation received the funding injection that would allow the first stage of the multi-stage Bundiyarra Muguri project to kick off with new infrastructure".

The new infrastructure including
* Public toilets;
* A camp-style kitchen with dishwashing and serving space;
* A bough shed for weather protection;
* A permanent projection screen with a stage;
* A lawn area;

"This will provide entertainment space for greater community and will allow more programs and activities to be offered both during and after hours, without having to use the existing, space-poor facilities. We will work with several partners to achieve these outcomes" - Said Bundiyarra CEO Marchelle Retallack.

Completing this project would improve local community participation, cohesion and contribute to vibrant and viable communities, targetting heritage, multiculturalism, the arts and education. It also ticks the boxes in terms of embracing a highly diversified economy as the multi-stage project will offer on-going training and employment opportunities for Aboriginal youth, leading to an array of economic possibilities.
