The Pilbara Office of the Aboriginal Affairs Coordinating Committee (AACC) has been advised that the building where the Punmu Aboriginal Community office was located, was insured by the Commonwealth Government's Department of Families, Housing, Community Services and Indigenous Affairs (FaHCSIA). A settlement claim of $250,000 will be paid to establish a new office building.
Mr John Ruedavey, Chief Executive Office of the Punmu Aboriginal Corporation (PAC) has advised the Pilbara Office of the AACC that sufficient capital funds have been secured to construct the new office building. A new office floor plan has already been drafted.
FaHCSIA is currently working with the local community to determine the need for further discussion with the relevant prescribed body corporate. The Pilbara Office of the AACC will continue to liaise with PAC and FaHCSIA regarding this matter and be kept informed of the progress.
