ROEBOURNE PRISON INMATES OFFERED WORK AT VIC HOTEL WHEN RELEASED
The restoration of the Victoria Hotel in Roebourne is almost complete and its been a project that locals have been involved in.
Students from Roebourne Highschool along with inmates from Roebourne Regional Prison have been working at the site and gaining new skills.
Yindjibarndi Aboriginal Corporation CEO, Michael Woodley is proud of the project and the provision of jobs it has brought to Roebourne town.
"We think by approaching the prison and having these guys realize that there are opportunities for you and hopefully it becomes a stepping stone of getting them to do something more positive with their lives.
"Out of the three fellahs we have engaged with in the prison, all three of them has been promised an adult apprenticeship."
The project is funded jointly by YAC, the Pilbara Development Commission and the Department of Infrastructure and Regional Development.
