For all Outstation enquires
Please contact the Outstations Coordinator on (08) 8972 0409
An outstation is a small, remote satellite community of a larger Aboriginal community, comprised of Aboriginal people who have chosen to take up residence on that land due to its cultural and spiritual significance.
Within the Roper Gulf region, there are approximately 300 people living across the 11 outstations that the Council services, with the largest outstation population being approximately 60 people. Figures are approximate due to the transient nature of these locations and the seasonal variations that occur due to wet weather restricted access.
