The Kununurra Courthouse is a landmark civic building set within the striking natural landscape of the Kimberley region. Designed as a vital community anchor for a small and geographically remote town, the courthouse balances its formal role with a strong sense of welcome and belonging.
The interior is both dignified and warm, with acoustically excellent spaces that support clear communication and calm, comfortable waiting areas. Referencing the jagged rock formations of the surrounding country, the wall linings and seating zigzag along the undulating perimeter walls to create rhythm and movement.
Natural timbers, including jarrah, Tasmanian ash and blackwood, are used throughout to echo the landscape's colours and textures. The result is a building that feels grounded in place while meeting the functional demands of contemporary justice infrastructure.
Our
Contribution
We supplied timber acoustic wall panels and coordinated timber seating elements that define the character of the waiting areas. Working closely with the project team, we procured a solution that delivers high acoustic performance while expressing the distinctive geometry and material warmth the design required. Our involvement ensured that technical performance, aesthetic intent, and durability were all carefully aligned.
What We Procured
- Acoustic wall & ceiling systems
- MDF panels
Technical Requirements Supported
The project required the following:- Fire ratings and documentation
- Acoustic performance requirements
- ESG, sustainability and Green Star
