Tjukurla Community

Tjukurla is an Aboriginal community, located in the Goldfields-Esperance region of Western Australia, within the Shire of Ngaanyatjarraku.

In mid-1981 an outstation was established at Kintore which provided an opportunity for those living at Papunya to move west, closer to their traditional lands.

From Kintore many people moved to Tjukurla as that community's infrastructure developed.

The community is located within the determined Ngaanyatjarra Lands (Part A) (WAD6004/04) native title claim area.

The community is managed through its incorporated body, Tjukurla Community Aboriginal Corporation, incorporated under the Aboriginal Councils and Associations Act 1976 on 17 February 1987.
