Deep Respect
3 April 2023
With deep respect we mark the passing of Yunupiŋu, nationally recognised and revered Indigenous Leader.
Council operations in our 9 East Arnhem communities, Nhulunbuy and Darwin offices will be closed for two days and all flags will be flown at half mast this week.
Our thoughts and hearts are with Yunupiŋu’s family and the Gumatj Clan.

Councillor Stephen Dhamarrandji attended the memorial service for the 84th Anniversary of the Bombing of Darwin, honouring the courage and sacrifice of those who served. We remember this significant moment in Australia's history and stand in respect with everyone impacted by the events of the Bombing of Darwin.
