A labour hire company has come to the rescue to help with essential services in the Ampilatwatja community.
A struggle to hire locally has meant the Barkly Regional Council team has had to think outside the box by engaging the labour-hire company to fill the gaps to provide municipal services.
The hire team comprises a supervisor and four workers with suitable machinery accreditation.
The company is wholly Indigenous-owned, operated and staffed.
