The City of Kwinana's first dual-named facility was officially opened in Honeywood Estate on Friday.
The name of the facility is a direct translation of Honeywood Pavilion in the local Noongar dialect - Ngook (honey) Boorn (wood) Mia-Mia (house or shelter).
The new facility is a result of extensive community consultation involving community meetings, surveys, and interviews with key stakeholders.
Some of the pavillions key features include solar battery storage, keyless access, and external public toilets.
City of Kwinana Mayor Carol Adams said it is an exciting moment for the community.
“This is an extremely exciting time seeing the increase in the number of community facilities in our City,” Mayor Adams said.
“The City also has an allocation towards public art for the pavilion and is working with a Nyoongar writer and researcher to engage with the Aboriginal community to develop a poem, and it is our hope that the poem will then be interpreted on the building in an artistic manner mid-next year."
The pavilion will also be the new home of the Kwinana Knights Junior Football Club and the Kwinana Blue Jays Baseball Club.
Ngook Boorn Mia-Mia / Honeywood Pavilion is expected to be available to the public for use on weekends and after school hours soon.
