Improving Safety and Connectivity for the Kununurra Community
The Shire of Wyndham East Kimberley advises that Lakeview Drive will be closed to all traffic from 6:30am to 4:30pm on weekdays, commencing Tuesday 3 June 2025, as part of vital road upgrade works. Preliminary works are already underway.
This closure is necessary to facilitate a road widening project aimed at improving safety and connectivity for residents and visitors. The works are part of the Black Spot Program, following the road’s identification as a high-risk area due to narrow lanes, inadequate lighting, poor road formation, and a lack of pedestrian facilities. During peak tourist seasons, the road is heavily trafficked by vehicles, caravans, trucks, and pedestrians accessing Discovery Parks – Lake Kununurra, Lake Kununurra Golf Club, and The Pump House Restaurant.
