An Aboriginal Cultural Centre overlooking the Derbarl Yerrigan / Swan River is a step closer after the Western Australian Government released the project's design tender.

The centre is planned to serve as a central cultural hub showcasing the rich diversity of Aboriginal cultures, highlighting their many forms of expression, including story, song, art, and dance.

The WA government said the centre will be a place where Western Australians, national and international visitors, "can foster a deeper understanding of the world's oldest continuous living cultures through immersive experiences".

Aboriginal Cultural Centre project steering committee chair and Kimberley MLA Divina D'Anna said the centre will foster a broad celebration of Aboriginal culture.

"This centre will be a place where the past, present and future of Aboriginal culture comes together and is shared proudly with national and international visitors, the Yawuru, Nimanburr and Bardi woman said.

"It will offer an immersion experience that invites deep connection, understanding and celebration of Aboriginal cultures, honouring the world's oldest living culture."

A place of healing, celebration and acknowledgment, the centre will include indoor and outdoor spaces for art, performance, education, research, community and commercial activities, with the Western Australian government saying the centre will become part of the city's cultural landscape while contributing to the state's economy.

WA Premier Roger Cook said the project will transform the area into one of the state's premier events hubs and destination attractions.

"This is an important milestone in realising a landmark cultural development for WA on the banks of the Derbarl Yerrigan," Mr Cook said.

"This is the latest example of our commitment to develop major infrastructure projects that both help to diversify the economy and increase the cultural vibrancy of our state."

$104 million has been allocated to the project to date, with $52 million coming from the Western Australian government and $52 million from the federal government.

WA Minister for Creative Industries Simone McGurk said the progress of the project is an exciting opportunity to enhance cultural experiences in the state.

"This landmark project will serve as a cultural hub for Western Australia's First Nations peoples and become a vital part of our shared heritage," Ms McGurk said.

The project's design tender can be found on the Tenders WA website.
