Roper Gulf Regional Council Draft Regional Plan 2019-2020 Roper Gulf Regional Council Draft Regional Plan 2019-2020 Roper Gulf Regional Council Plan 2019/20 THE LOGO The logo was developed from a concept created by Lainie Joy of Borroloola. The five flowing figures have multiple meanings. They represent the five wards in our region (Never Never, Numbulwar Numburindi, Nyirranggulung, South West Gulf and Yugul Mangi); the five main rivers winding through our Region (the Limmen, McArthur, Robinson, Roper and Rose Rivers); the low-lying hills that are visible on the horizon nearly everywhere in the Roper Gulf Region and the Rainbow Serpent that underlies everything. The colours are based on the different colours of the soil, and the people co- existing in the Roper Gulf region.

We appreciate the ongoing support of the community-based staff who assisted with the consultation process which led to residents choosing the town priorities you see in section 2.5 of this plan. As we move into the 2019-20 financial year, Elected Members and staff remain committed to the Council’s mission of working as one towards a better future through the effective use of all resources. The people who make up the region are its most precious resource, so we offer our thanks for speaking up, getting involved and allowing their opinions to be heard. 4 | P a g e Roper Gulf Regional Council Plan 2019/20 MAYOR’S MESSAGE As we look forward to the next twelve months, Council is undergoing a period of significant review and change. In the last financial year Council has seen a number of the Council’s senior executive, including the long serving CEO, Michael Berto, leave the Organisation. In addition, the Council is faced with a range of changes to the Council’s service delivery model, including the reduction in the size of the Community Development Program and the commensurate reduction in income available for discretionary use by the Council. While acknowledging the many years of service that the outgoing CEO has provided to the organisation, the Council has taken the opportunity presented by these internal and external changes to review its services and functions. This Regional Plan embodies a new organisational structure that has been designed to provide strong focus to three key deliverables within the plan: Strong Leadership and Governance Strong Community Engagement; and Delivery of the Council’s Infrastructure Program Furthermore, the Regional Plan has been crafted by the Council to ensure that the Council’s expenditure reflects its reduced circumstances and ensures the long term sustainability of the organisation. Within the Plan there is a focus on strong basic service delivery with priority remaining on service delivery in our many communities. Infrastructure development will remain a key priority for Council with several major projects due to commence and be completed within the 2019-20 financial year. Borroloola will remain a focus for investment, with the $5.7 million Rocky Creek Bridge upgrade project to continue over this financial year. Further investments have been made towards the roads in the Borroloola Town Camps, and the Borroloola Business Hub, which will cost an estimated $2 million, will be fully costed and scoped this year to allow the Council to aggressively advocate for funding to support this project. Planning for the new Hub will include office accommodation for Council staff and other local organisations and businesses. The new facility will also house a tourist information bay to help promote local events and attractions to visitors. Like Barunga, Ngukurr will soon benefit from a multi-million dollar oval lighting upgrade in the Roper Gulf region, thanks to a collaboration between the Council and the Territory represented by Department of Tourism and Culture. The $1.45 million investment over two years is currently upgrading the lighting at Ngukurr oval and is expected to be completed in this financial year. The Council will continue its planning and development of the Mataranka Community Hub so that the project is ready for construction with the Territories Local Government Strategic Infrastructure Fund provide a significant boost to this project. This project, estimated to cost approximately $1.8 million, involves construction a new Council services building inclusive of the now completed modern library, infrastructure upgrades to the community hall, and civil works adjacent to the existing building to facilitate additional parking. Mataranka has also received a grant from the Commonwealth represented by the Department of Health to design and construct an aged and disability respite care centre, consisting of

  • DEBATES – Wednesday 9 May 2018 3890 It Seems
    DEBATES – Wednesday 9 May 2018 It seems to be an extraordinary coincidence that the oil and gas reserves are between the two countries. I think that tells us we need to work things out together, not compete for it. How can we mutually benefit from this great resource? Do not forget that if we work this out well between East Timor and northern Australia— those reserves extend further into Indonesia. Indonesia is in need of energy just as we are. The three of us could work it out. There are opportunities for the Northern Territory to position itself well to provide support across the line so we can all benefit from this and open up. If we do that and cooperate, we could all end up in a far better position. There is much to be gained if we work together on this. I am happy to report to members who have an interest in this. I will have further meetings with government tomorrow to see how we progress this. I would like to see more detail about how the Arafura Games could be used to add some greater definition to this particular project, because this project of building a stronger commercial case for better aviation services in the region will be supported if we have a strong focus on the trilateral. Canberra will note it if we are proactive in this. Jakarta will recognise it as well. We need Jakarta and we need Canberra, and the way to do that is to show that we are finding creative ways to work together whether it is through education, the Chamber of Commerce in Eastern Indonesia, or seeking advice of the Australia Indonesia Business Council.
