The grandmother of an Aboriginal woman who died in WA Police custody says she wants CCTV footage of her grandaughter's final hours released to the media in its entirety.

Ms Dhu, whose first name is not used for cultural reasons, died in August 2014, two days after being locked up at South Hedland Police Station for unpaid fines totalling $3622.

Her grandmother Carol Roe wrote to Coroner Ros Fogliani on Thursday to say she has "no objection" to the entirety of the CCTV footage of Ms Dhu's final moments released "in a non-exclusive manner".

Ms Dhu's death was subject to a coronial inquiry, where Ms Fogliani dismissed applications to release the footage, saying it was distressing and Ms Dhu's privacy outweighed the public interest.

Renewed calls for the footage to be released has seen the matter listed for hearing on September 28.
