Central Desert Regional Council recently completed a major upgrade to floodways and damaged road sections along the main Nturiya Road with assistance from the Natural Disaster Relief and Recovery Arrangements Program.
Council's indigenous staff were closely involved with the contractors throughout the project and gathered to celebrate with the Nturiya community.
President Adrian Dixon, Councillor James Glenn, local authority members, community members and council staff were on hand for the official ribbon cutting followed by a BBQ under the trees beside the road near Nturiya community.
Council would like to acknowledge the assistance of both the NT and federal government who jointly funded the project.
It is with regret that we inform you that one of our former Councillors passed away early Saturday morning after an extended illness.
On behalf of the Councillors and all Council staff, we offer our condolences to his extended family. Our thoughts are with them all.
Mr Schaber from Atitjere was a Councillor for several years, representing his community with distinction.
