Works crew complete truck driver training

Members of the West Arnhem Regional Council works crews from each Community attended a training session in Gunbalanya on 12 and 13 August to learn how to safely drive heavy rigid vehicles. The following week, the group travelled to the CDU campus in Katherine to put in practice what had learnt and had the opportunity of driving trucks on the road. William Wurlurli from Warruwi said it was a great training experience. 
“Driving a truck on a different road was challenging. The traffic conditions in Katherine are different to the ones in Warruwi, but it was great to practice what we have learnt to make us better truck drivers. I was able to upgrade to a HR driver licence and I’m very happy”. Works crews across our communities will continue to practice their driving to improve their skills and upgrade their licences in the future.
