One of the biggest problems in remote communities is having housing available for staff who are delivering programs or working in community (while we have a motel, it doesn’t work for long-term stays). We were fortunate enough to receive ABA funding for two 3-bedroom demountables that arrived this week courtesy of Northern Transportables.
With power and water connections currently under way, they’ll be completed soon. We’ll be renting them out to organisations working in community. Owning these assets gives us the flexibility to rent them out at commercial rates which becomes a good revenue stream that supports us, as well as allowing more programs to be delivered within community. We currently have plans under-way for a further 4 to meet demand.
