Message from the Mayor

Message from the CEO

The dry is with us and that means a really busy time for all of us here in the Roper Gulf.

This is a time of great festivals to bring people together and share the wonderful part of the world that we live in and is also a great time to get out and about.

Most of our roads are open but please be careful as many of them are still in pretty rough condition. This time of the year brings a lot of heavy traf-fic with travelers using our roads and heavy mining and other transport making best of the dry season. Watch your speed and stop off the side to let large vehicles through. Slow down to look at the

country and take regular breaks.

Council met last week and will meet again late June. Lots of decisions are to be made and some quite difficult for us.

The cold wind of the NT and federal Government budgets will have an impact on our services but we are working within the constraints of a tight budget to maintain the best services we can for our resi-dents. I will talk about some of our constraints next newslet-ter.

This edition of the newsletter brings news of some really good grass roots initiatives in our marvelous region and I hope you enjoy reading about

them.

In the middle of this month our Deputy Mayor MacFarlane, Crs. Lee and Daniels and I will be attending the Annual Australian Local Government Association National Confer-ence in Canberra. I am al-ready feeling cold, but prom-ise a report for the next news-letter as soon as I defrost.

This has been a very busy time for all as we prepare for the

new financial year – everyone (staff and management) have been hard at work with their respective budgets in order for us to complete the organi-sational wide budget in readi-ness for the May meeting of Council. Of course, the budg-et announcements from the Australian and NT Govern-ments were eagerly awaited so we could ascertain the

impacts (positive or other-wise) for our organisation. Unfortunately, we will incur some job losses as a result of budget cuts and like all other Regional Councils throughout the NT, we are dealing with this.

At the May meeting of Coun-cil, they passed the first draft Budget for Roper Gulf Council and this will be available to the public along with our Re-gional Plan 2014-15 for a 21 day period seeking feedback before it goes to the June meeting of Council where it will need to be passed in readiness for the new finan-

cial year.

In between all the Budget work we had a very good Council Services Manager’s training and meeting in Mata-ranka followed by our quarter-ly Managers Meeting in Kath-erine. Next month we have the Barunga and Ngukurr Festivals and staff in those communities, including those in Katherine will be flat out preparing for these events, which we all look forward to. Un l next  me, stay well and stay safe!

What does your role as Community Services Manager require you to do?

As Manager of Community Services, I: Provide support and guidance to 72 Community Services Employees within the Roper

Gulf Region. Maintain compliance of services delivered with respect to organisational policies and

legislation. Ensure high quality service delivery and program activities. Handle complaints and recommendations. Collaborate with Community Stakeholders Tell us a little about yourself: My family emigrated from Ireland to Katherine when I was 4, and I have called Katherine home ever since. 

Roper Gulf Regional Council is an important part of my life as I have a strong work eth-ic and enjoy working with my support team to find solutions to work challenges in community services. I have been a member of this organisation since it’s inception in 2008. Prior to Rop-er Gulf, I was employed with Nyirranggulung which can be considered as one of Roper Gulf’s ’founding organisations’ prior to amalgamation. During this period I have seen many changes to improved service delivery which Roper Gulf has supported. 

 

Sport has a way of pulling communities together and giving focus to young people struggling with the complexity of growing up.

A recent funding grant from the NT Department of Health under the “Youth at Risk Pro-gram” has allowed 14 young people aged 13 to 16 years of age from the small town of Jilkminggan to compete in the Easter Basketball competition held in Darwin.

The two teams, a men’s and women’s team gelled together and competed successfully and most importantly had great fun. The teams are con-tinuing to train and are looking forward to the next competi-tion.

Giving an outlet to the natural talent and energy of our young people is very im-portant as is the opportunity to play as a team with others. Organised sport and recrea-tion allows young people to

test themselves, take risks, form strong support networks and find a natural high.

Numbulwar Night Patroller receives Police Commendation

Community Round-up

This week Numbulwar Night Patrol Team Leader Ernest Numamurdirdi received an award from NT Police Com-mander Porter for achieve-ment of Operational Excel-lence as part of “Project Re-spect” at a public ceremony held in Numbulwar.

The award recognizes Ernest for his professional assistance in a domestic violence situa-

tion that involved serious assault in September last year.

Commander Porter in outlining events leading to the award said of Ern-est, “… having leaders in the Community who show bravery is a

positive thing …Ernest is an excellent role model”

Ernest responded to the award by saying“… I just want to keep my community safe and I am always willing to be there to assist the Police”.

Ernest has been with the Numbulwar Night Patrol for about two and a half years and Team leader for eight

months. The Numbulwar Night Patrol is managed by Roper Gulf Regional Council and funded by the Common-wealth Government. The Numbulwar Night Patrol have received a number of Police commendations awards in recent times including for their recent involvement in a ma-rine rescue emergency.

Roper Gulf Mayor Tony Jack on hearing of the award said, “Ernest’s community is very proud as are we all are at the Roper Gulf Regional Council. Night Patrol is a hard and largely unacknowledged role but a really important role in our towns.” He added, “This is a good opportunity for us to thank all our Night Patrol staff for their dedication, profes-sionalism and hard work.”

Local Authorities Learn about Financial Reporting

Roper Gulf Regional Coun-cil’s Governance unit recently rolled out a new Financial/Governance training program for Local Authorities across the Roper Gulf Region. The program has been designed jointly with LGANT and in-volves group based training run in local communities and supporting printed material. The program was delivered by David Jan of LGANT.

The main focus of the training was to provide understanding on Council reports and build-ing the capacity of Local Au-thority members in using budget reports.

The new Local Authorities were established when the NT Government changed the Local Government Act at the end of last year. These au-thorities have increased re-sponsibility compared with the former Local Boards including some overview of council

budget and finances affecting their local area.

Participants were enthusiastic about the outcomes of the training and all felt it gave them confidence in under-standing how finances were managed in their area. “I now know what the budget reports mean and what questions to ask. I am looking forward seeing the budget report at the next meeting”, said one participant. “This has helped me understand how council

spends its money and what my community gets”, another said.

Roper Gulf Regional Council is a leading edge Council in establishing the new Local Authorities with nine out of the ten Local Authorities set up and most having already held meetings.

Further Local Authority train-ing is being planned to com-plement ongoing support for the newly formed Authorities.

Bulman Project to Break Accommodation Drought

Finding suitable accommoda-tion for Council, Government and other visitors to small communities is often a chal-lenge in towns with acute housing shortages. Bulman located 340 kilometres north east of Katherine has always had a shortage of visitors’ accommodation and being located at least four or more hours road travel from Kathe-rine has made work travel difficult. This in turn have ef-

fected adequate service deliv-ery to the town and surround-ing area.

This shortage will be soon alleviated with a completion of stage one of the development of a new visitors accommoda-tion building.

A lot has been cleared at a cost of $18000 which was funded under the Department of Prime Minister and Cabinet Community Development

Fund. Further work amounting $154050 funded through De-partment of Local Govern-ment and Regions Special Purpose Grant is due to begin on a new eight bed visitors accommodation building.

The project is expected to meet the current shortage of short term visitor accommoda-tion and enhance service de-livery in the town and reduce some of the fly in fly out travel costs of service providers.

Fixing the Gate at Jodetluk

Roper Gulf Regional Council has announced the comple-tion of a $143K road and drainage upgrade at the Jodetluk Community located at the gateway to the beautiful Nitmiluk Gorge.

A Capital Infrastructure grant from the Department of Com-

munity Services allowed for an upgrading of drainage, gravelling and bitumening at the entrance road to the Com-munity which had been badly eroded and damaged over recent years.

This has made the entrance to community safer, more

attractive and less likely to be eroded in future wet seasons.

Jodetluk which was informerly known as Gorge Camp is located 25 kilometres north east of Katherine and is one of Roper Gulf Council’s 25 Outstations. 

Sergeant Thomas Chalk (Chalky) moves on...

Sergeant Thomas Chalk of the NT Police, known widely as “Chalky,” is leaving the Maranboy Police area to start a new placement in Mata-ranka.

Sgt Chalk has been has been stationed at Maranboy for four and half years. Maranboy Police Station services the towns and region around Bes-wick, Barunga, and Man-yallauk.

At the Beswick Local Authority Meeting held this week, Cr Serena Ashley proposed a vote of appreciation for Ser-geant Chalk and wished him well in his new job.

“His hard work has been real-ly appreciated in Beswick and we will miss him. We hope he will come back to this area. Chalky has built a really good relationship with the people of Beswick. If we can convince the government to build a

Police station here in Beswick we hope he might come back in the future.

It is quite unusual for a local Policeman to stay in the area for this length of time,” Coun-cillor Ashley said

Chalky said he would still be in the area doing occasional relieving and had really en-joyed his time in the area. Sgt Chalk begins at Mataranka in mid May and his replacement starts at Maranboy very soon.

Bush Tucker Plantings to enrich Roper Gulf Regional Council’s Parks

Page 7

The first trees have been planted as part of a new pro-ject which is establishing bush tucker trees in Roper Gulf Regional Council town parks.

All towns are currently being supplied with young trees and shrubs grown by Greening Australia in Katherine with funding from a Northern Terri-tory Environment Protection Authority Grant. The trees are being grown as source of bush tucker and traditional medicine and will also provide shade and help reduce some of the woody weeds that are choking much of the Top end.

RGRC Mayor Tony Jack praised the project saying,

“As well as providing a free source of indigenous fruit, berries and traditional medi-cine that people can use to supplement daily food or as a treat, it is a also a great way of teaching people about local plant foods. This will strength-en our cultural knowledge of food and medicine sources as the old people did.

We will be sharing the knowledge with the schools who have been involved in planting and letting people know when plants are flower-ing and fruiting using local radio the remote indigenous broadcasting service. “Those city mob pay plenty for organ-ic native bush tucker, we will

have it for the picking”

Secondary school students and RJCP workers planted the first grove recently in Bul-man and were rewarded with rain that night which settled the newly planted trees in. “These plants not only are useful but will look good and make our towns greener and better places to live in.” Mayor Jack concluded.

Plantings are now being rolled out across Roper Gulf region-al towns. Mayor Jack extend-ed an invitation to residents to volunteer to help in the plant-ing and watering of the plants by contacting their local Council office.

Lorraine Bennett the Remote Schools Attendance Scheme supervisor for Beswick is go-ing to Canberra at the end of May as part of a nine person group to meet with the Prime Minister’s Indigenous advisory Council and the Prime Minis-ter. The meeting is to report on the progress of the Re-mote Schools Attendance Strategy.

Lorraine is a tireless worker for her town and community of Beswick and is one of only two representatives from the Northern Territory invited to attend the meeting.

The RSAS has been in place in a number of Roper Gulf Schools since the start of term 1 and aims to improve school attendance by support-ing parents and students to be ready and at school on time. The Scheme, funded by

the Commonwealth Govern-ment is being administered within the Roper Gulf Region by Roper Gulf Regional Coun-cil and the Remote Jobs in Community Program.

Lorraine supervises three other school attendance work-ers soon to be extended to five. As well as her supervi-sors role Lorraine has a long association with the Wugularr School and is active on the School Council, the Bugula Women’s group and a num-

ber of other community groups.

She describes the opportunity to meet with the Indigenous advisory Committee as “..Awesome… a wonderful opportunity to talk about the good things we are doing.” “… We have been working really hard and are seeing improving attendance and parent involvement in their children’s education. This is so important in our communi-ties”

Daly Waters Rodeo - Another Local Win

Page 9

The annual Daly Waters Ro-deo held on the May Day weekend bought out the best local cowboys keen to try their hand with the broncs and bulls.

Novices and champions alike they all rose to the challenge competing successfully with rodeo riders from outside the region in this important full rodeo and camp draft. The Daly Water Rodeo and Camp Draft offers substantial cash prizes and status amongst rodeo riders and camp draft-

ers. It draws novices and professionals alike and is a popular event for spectators massively swelling the iconic town’s tiny permanent resi-dent population of about 15 people.

Daly Waters located in the Roper Gulf Region, is in the middle of the top end and in the heart of cattle country. It has a local European history going back to the early 1880’s as a staging point for cattle, the overland telegraph the railway, early air transport and as a wartime base. Its history of Aboriginal occupation goes back tens of thousands of years. Daly Waters is an im-portant tourist stop for people travelling the Stuart Highway. Its historic pub is legendary.

The rodeo and camp draft brought the little town alive. Big hats, riding boots, big belt buckles and western gear; beaut utes and big 4 wheel drives covered in stickers and big aerials; cattle dogs and horse floats were all the go. These were being worn and driven by men and women bigger than the territory!

As rodeo day approached there was a real feeling of excitement and a tangible smell of the coming battles between man (and women) and horses and bulls. Pro-ceeded by the skill and speed of the camp drafting, it was a strange and potent mixture of

dust, sweat, bravery, bluster and expectation highlighted by this special place in this very remote historic town.

Even the unsung heroes of the day, the bucking broncos and those massive bundles of muscle, the bulls, seemed to be twitching ready to let loose knowing their role in the com-ing drama.

The competition day buzzed and well and truly met its promise, a willing spectacle full of spills and thrills, highs and lows, new heroes and bruised egos… and the night was just as much of a party.

As the weekend came to an end cowboys and cowgirls, competitors and spectators alike, limped off home to lick their wounds and lord their successes excited by the ex-perience and declaring they would be back next year to do it all over again.

Rodeos are a unique experi-ence high lighting both the history of the region, the exist-ing culture here in the heart of cattle country and are just great theatre and sport.

There is no better place to see rodeo and camp drafting than in the Roper Gulf Re-gion.

The next big rodeo in the Roper Gulf Region is at Bor-roloola on the 15- 17th Au-gust.

A Day in Housing Maintenance

Page 10

Wrenches, pliers, hammer , file (snake) and a big dig-ger—a day in Housing Maintenance

Basic repairs and mainte-nance of public housing, that’s the assignment of the Housing maintenance officers em-ployed by Roper Gulf Region-al Council as part of the newly won contract with the NT gov-ernment.

Small easy jobs but there are those days when it’s not that easy.

Ngukurr Housing maintenance officer Paul Amarant had one of those days recently. Ready to change washers, tighten lose screws, fix broken fly wire Paul worked into the day until he responded to an old leak-ing tap. First he had to re-move all the wall cladding,

then get in a front end digger to dig deep into the rock hard dry Ngukurr clay to find a deeply buried leak and finally had to negotiate a bath full of file snakes and tortoises to change the corroded shower taps.

It is not sure how the wildlife got into the bath or if they were in transition to a better place but the leak was fixed and shower tap replaced. Mis-sion accomplished Paul moved on the next challenge. All in a days work.

If an external trade contractor had to be bought into the community to do the job it could have taken weeks and cost substantially more. For jobs requiring trade profes-sionals like plumbers and electricians Roper Gulf Re-

gional Council has to get the NT Government Housing to arrange for these as local maintenance is usually limited to smaller jobs costing under $100.00.

Response times have im-proved with the new contract and having locals on the ground who make the extra effort is appreciated by locals with small maintenance prob-lems.

Paul at Ngukurr is directly supervised by Kevin Clapson the newly appointed builder trainer who is working to broaden the skills and knowledge of our mainte-nance officers.

To report a maintenance fault residents need to contact their local housing officer and have the request logged for action.

Exciting ‘dos, hair tints and stunning new make up and nails are likely to be seen around Ngukurr with the re-turn of ten young women after completing an introduc-tory hairdressing and make up course.

The course run by profession-al hairdressers and make up artists has taught the girls to cut, shape, colour and main-tain healthy hair and the ba-sics of beauty and make up. The course organized by RGRC Youth Services was run as an intensive live in course at CDU Katherine Re-gional College.

The girls were introduced to theory and had hands on practice including working with volunteer models all un-der the watchful eyes of Mar-garet Lyle and Dianne Jen-nison. Dianne and Margaret have over 65 years of experi-ence in hairdressing, make up and trade teaching between them.

Both were thrilled with the progress and excitement shown by the young women. “Several of the girls have shown real talent and interest in hairdressing and we hope that they will continue on learning. This is just a taste but will give some great per-sonal skills” said Margaret Lyle.

Most remote and very remote towns do not have a profes-sionally trained hairdresser let

alone training opportunities. An apprenticeship or TAFE college involves travelling and living away from home for a long time so it is a big chal-lenge for young people living in these communities and a substantial cost to the individ-ual.

Young indigenous women like all young women want to dress well and fashionably and have the latest in hair styles. Even in remote loca-tions people have access to the internet and TV and know as quickly as anyone else what is in style.

This course offers some basic skills they cannot access with-out having to travel to a larger regional town. The course was sponsored by the NAK hair products which provided each girl with an introductory set of hairdressing products.

And were the volunteer mod-els happy with the end result? “Very happy”, according to

Vicki Williams CDU Adminis-trator at the Rural College who volunteered as a model. “The cut was very profession-al and neat and the students treated us with real care and interest”.

RGRC CEO, another willing volunteer added,“…it was exciting to see them all in action and the level of enthu-siasm they were showing. They certainly are an impres-sive bunch” Mr. Berto also thanked staff and trainers for their good work and said he was very proud of the girls. “RGRC is leading the way with training opportunities for people of the region.”

RGRC, Youth Services will continue to offer the Hair dressing and beauty course and other personal develop-ment and employment tasters for young people living in the Roper Gulf region. More courses are planned for later in the years for other commu-nities.

Exhibitions on display at Godinymayin Yijard Arts & Cultural Centre

Two new exhibitions, both with close connec-tions with the Roper Gulf Region are on dis-play at the Godinymayin Yijard Arts and Cul-tural Centre in Katherine.

Mangarrayi Country is a cultural documenta-tion project undertaken by the Mangarrayi Traditional Owners from the Roper River catchment which included the region around Jilkminggan, Martaranka and Minyerri and along the Roper River.

This important culturally rich project undertak-en by traditional owners involved the develop-ment of maps, photos and other art works previously only held in an oral tradition.

The project has been supported the Roper River Landcare group.

Urapunga Way is an exhibition of works by Margaret Duncan and Dorcas Thompson and Family. Urapunga is located near the junction of the Roper and Wilton Rivers, thirty kilome-ters west of Ngukurr. Urapunga has a strong and unique art practice as shown in the works on exhibition.

Both of the exhibitions are a unique opportuni-ty to get a glimpse into some of the hidden culture of the region.

Both exhibitions open on Friday the 16 May and continue till the 14 June.

For more information regarding this exhibi-tions, please contact the Godinymayin Yijard Arts and Cultural Centre in Katherine on phone: 08 8972 3751

Work Health and Saftey Bulliten

The month of May has been a busy time for the WHS Committee. Our first meeting was held on 16th May 2014 where many issues were discussed and resolved. This is a positive step towards meeting our Organisational Goal of improved safety for all employees.

May has also marked the beginning of the Dry Season which has meant many of us are on the roads again as part of our role with Council. I would like to take this opportunity to remind you all of the new journey management forms and procedures that have been implement. Conducting pre-starts on your vehicles and ensuring your vehicles had been correctly equipped with lights and other safety features will ensure the safety of you and all other road users. Moving into June and July, the WHS Team will be conducting audits on the vehicles and procedure use.

During May, we have seen a great increase in the number of hazards being reported. This is due to the increased awareness amongst employees of the reporting processes. These fig-ures, as displayed in the graph below are a huge achievement for RGRC, all employees should congratulate themselves for this effort.

Looking into the future, the WHS team will be planning a Safety Campaign for the Roper Gulf Region. If you have any suggestions as to what to call the campaign , ideas about the areas that require attention and methods of spreading the word of this campaign, pleas contact us.
