Roebourne’s post office is up for sale and is at risk of closing down if an owner can’t be found.

Roebourne resident and City of Karratha Councillor Garry Bailey has owned and operated the post office for 36 years.

He plans to retire in February and has listed the property for sale, with an asking price of around $700,000.

Mr Bailey said he would hand back his post office license if a new owner could not be found.

“It’ll be sad to see it, because it’s been a post office for 135 years or something, and it’ll be a shame, but life goes on,” Mr Bailey said.
