Council marks the passing of Mr M Wunungmurra

1 March 2024

With great sorrow Council marks the passing of Mr Wunungmurra, Chairman of the Arnhem Land Progress Association, and brother to Councillors Bobby Wunungmurra and Bandi Bandi Wunungmurra. 


 President Lapulung Dhamarrandji has stated “This is a shattering moment for losing a man who had such integrity in his heart.”


Out of our deep respect Council has closed all operations across the nine communities, and the Nhulunbuy Regional Support and Darwin Support offices.


 All flags across all nine communities are being flown at half mast from now until the end of next week.


Our thoughts are with all the families, kin and all who knew and deeply respected this great man.
