History
[edit]Kurrawang was established as a mission settlement in 1953 on a Crown Land Title reserve. During the 1960s Kurrawang set up dormitories for children. In the 1970s the dormitories were replaced with a detached housing accommodation system. In 1984 mission control was replaced by a community based executive committee. In March 1995 the Kurrawang Aboriginal Christian Community was issued with the title to land in freehold.
Town planning

Layout Plan No.2 was endorsed by the community on 7 February 2006 and the Western Australian Planning Commission on 21 March 2006.
