Gunbalanya Local Authority support multiple Community projects
West Arnhem Regional Council has been actively delivering several significant community projects in Gunbalanya over recent months, thanks to funding provided by the Gunbalanya Local Authority.
Footy and sports and recreation in Gunbalanya are set to reach new heights with the revitalisation of the community's sports oval. The upgrades include resurfacing, line marking, and essential irrigation works, such as replacing outdated sprinklers. These improvements aim to provide a top-quality playing field for various sports and activities.
These works will further enhance the facility following the completion of the new Oval Lights in September 2024. These upgrades were also funded by the Northern Territory Government.
Two new shelters have been constructed at the popular Gunbalanya Billabong. Designed with the community's comfort in mind, the shelters include seating, tables, a stainless steel sink and bench and a water supply for cleaning. These amenities will offer comfort from the heat and rain, ensuring Community members can enjoy this special location year-round.
New paving paths have been installed at several Aged Care clients’ homes to enhance accessibility, particularly during the challenging wet season.
These paths offer a safer and more reliable surface, significantly benefiting residents who use wheelchairs. Further paving works are planned for 2025, with upgrades set to continue at remaining homes.
A new cold-water drinking fountain has been installed outside the Gunbalanya Council Office for public use. As a central point for the Community, the convenient drinking fountain will be of great benefit during those hot days.
Thanks to the amazing support of the Local Authority, Council continues its commitment to enhancing Community infrastructure and services to build stronger Communities.
