Barkly Regional Council’s community area managers were in Tennant Creek this week for a two-day training and information conference.

Council Area and Department Managers from Ali Curung, Alpurrurulam, Alparra and Elliott met with Tennant Creek managers, department heads and new and existing staff to talk about what’s happening in their communities and receive updates what’s happening at the Tennant Creek head office.

It was not all work and no play – Council hosted a swim breakfast on Tuesday, a delicious afternoon tea and a dinner to finish off the first day.

On day two, the Area Managers and Tennant Creek Managers participated in presentations by Council’s People and Culture Manager, Information Services Manager and Director of Infrastructure, ending the day with an afternoon tea.

Director of Community Development Gillian Molloy said it was a productive couple of days discussing Tennant Creek and Barkly communities and service delivery.

The conference was hosted by the Community Development team, who assisted in organising the range of sessions, engagements and activities.

The Operations Directorate will deliver the next conference.
