WA considers two village pilots for Aboriginal housing
State Housing Commission proposes two Aboriginal village pilots to house tribal people in simple dwellings with power water and sewerage. Fifteen villages planned across Kimberleys Pilbara Gascoyne Ashburton and eastern regions with an estimated eight million pound cost over three to five years. The plan aims for long term use rather than transit housing, with varying family sizes and kinship needs across communities. A council member noted some Aboriginal Advancement Council members oppose the idea though tribal leaders offered a positive response. A separate dispute arises as the WA Trades and Labour Council calls a state wide two hour Aboriginal housing strike provoking protests outside Parliament.
