​Doolooloorrng (‘running water’) Park – Quick Fact Sheet

What: A world-class White Water Facility for Tourism, Social and Economic benefit.
Attracting over 25000+ visitors annually and creating 25 full-time jobs, the White Water Park will change the Kimberley Tourism landscape, adding over $6.6M annually to the local economy.

Where:  Kununurra - “An outstanding opportunity to maximise the East Kimberley’s greatest asset – a highly reliable and abundant flow of fresh water.” 
The lack of reliable natural water flows means 90% of white water venues are now fed by circulating pumped water.  Kununurra is in a unique position to use our flowing water and avoid the $3M pump capital costs and the over $1.7M annual pump running costs.

Why: “It brings together all the unique elements of the Kimberley to create a world class tourist attraction.” 
“An opportunity for Northern Australia to maximise the value of our water infrastructure for Tourism.” 
There is overwhelming demand in the Kimberley for: 
•    Improved water based outdoor and recreational opportunities, 
•    ‘Controlled risk-taking opportunities’ for our youth,
•    Better utilisation our water assets, and 
•    Increased economic prosperity from Tourism.

Who: The Park will be operationally self sustaining, by a commercial operator.

How: “The Park would result in no net reduction in flows from Lake Kununurra to the Lower Ord River.”  The project requires only 20% of the daily Kununurra Diversion Dam flow to be diverted through the White Water Park which is returned to the Lower Ord River. 
​
When: The steps forward: 
•    Consultation with Stakeholders,
•    Establish Memorandums of Understandings with the major Stakeholders, and 
•    Attract an investor who will proceed with the construction and operation of the Kununurra White Water Park.
