West Arnhem Regional Council (WARC) held its October Ordinary Council Meeting via video conference on Wednesday, 23 October. 

The meeting covered key updates from various departments, including finance, technical services, and waste management.

With the wet season just around the corner, WARC staff are busy completing current projects and planning future works across the region before heavy rains make roads impassable. 

During the meeting, Councillors acknowledged the significant number of ongoing and near-complete projects, and expressed gratitude for the staff’s hard work.

Infrastructure Projects:

  • Warruwi Community Hall: Reroofing is underway, and an additional storage container with roofing and roller doors has been installed.
  • Maningrida’s Malala Road: Drainage works are scheduled to commence soon.

Local Authority-Funded Projects:

  • Gunbalanya Shelters: Nearing completion.
  • Gunbalanya Aged Care: Pavers will be installed at various clients' homes to improve mobility during the wet season.
  • Maningrida Outdoor Gym: 95% complete, providing the community with a new fitness facility.
  • New Year's Eve Fireworks in Maningrida: Planning is already underway.
  • Gunbalanya Drinking Fountain: A new cold-water drinking fountain has been installed outside the Gunbalanya Council Office for public use.

Recreation Facility Upgrades:

  • Jabiru’s Brockman Oval: New grandstands were installed in time for the Jabiru Bombers’ first home game last weekend.
  • Gunbalanya Oval: Contractors are set to begin soil improvement, surfacing, and line-marking works in early November.
  • Maningrida Oval: Additional grandstands will be fully installed ahead of the Sydney Swans visit in November, funded by the Local Authority.

With these projects in motion, WARC continues its commitment to enhancing Community infrastructure and services to build stronger Communities.
