5 - Damien Conley Consultancy March 2011 1.0 Executive Summary Damien Conley Consultancy was appointed to undertake detailed research and consultations with key stakeholders to identify innovative approaches to resolve the crisis accommodation situation in Tennant Creek. The project was funded by the Northern Territory Government and coordinated jointly by the Uniting Church Tennant Creek Congregation and Frontier Services. A draft report proposing two projects in Tennant Creek on vacant land owned by Frontier Services and the Uniting Church Tennant Creek Congregation was presented to the Barkly Regional Advisory Group (BRAG), the Uniting Church in Australia Northern Synod and Frontier Services on 21 February 2011. The draft report was endorsed by these groups. The two main proposals of this report are: Frontier Services (Peko Road site) The consultant found that the availability of accommodation in Tennant Creek is being impacted through the huge regional growth in the mining, construction and transport sectors. This growth coupled with pre-existing unmet need for public and private housing has led to an accommodation crisis in the town. While the unmet demand for long-term public and private housing in Tennant Creek is undeniable the Tennant Creek community is adamant that there is another priority group at greater risk.

Whilst Tennant Creek and the Barkly are funded for a range of health, community and housing programs this consultancy found that the region is under-represented with regard to funding allocations to the identified priority groups. - 6 - Damien Conley Consultancy March 2011 The expressed needs of the Tennant Creek community were to develop a flexible accommodation model that meets the unique needs of their community. Stakeholders identified that in small communities like Tennant Creek government funding models that allocate funding on a programmatic basis and for a specific purpose do not work well. Stakeholders often referred to these funding models as silo funding. Barkly region stakeholders recognised that within Tennant Creek the number of people in each of the identified priority groups was individually too small to justify a stand-alone facility for each group; however, combined there were sufficient numbers to justify a shared facility. Stakeholders expressed a genuine
