The word 'Wanangkura' is used by the Kariyarra people when they talk about cyclones or willy-willies. The outer curve encapsulates and draws attention to the stadium name ‘Wanangkura’; at the same time creating the sense of a community hub. It characterises the approachable and friendly environment conveyed by the Stadium, while remaining solid and strong, complementing the construction and look of the building. The word was chosen to emphasise the architect’s vision of a unique design that reflects the potency of Port Hedland’s cyclonic weather.
The brand image for Wanangkura Stadium is inspired by elements of the building’s external design, representing dynamic movement and clean, modern, innovative and distinctive architecture.
