Koolambidi Woola (Youth Precinct Building) Visual Story

1. Arrival and Parking

Koolambidi Woola is located between Bunbury Business District and a saltwater canal. The area features a large, flat car park surfaced with bitumen, including three accessible car parking spaces marked with blue signage and adjacent striped zones.
