Chief Executive Officer
Dale Keehne took on the role of Chief Executive Officer on July 8, 2019, bringing a wealth of experience to the East Arnhem Regional Council. This marks an exciting period of change for the Council.
Dale has a strong background in supporting community development in the Northern Territory and beyond, including interstate and overseas work. After 15 years, he returned to East Arnhem Land, where he first established connections.

His commitment lies in ensuring that the Council fulfils its purpose of serving and empowering the Yolngu and Anindilyakwa people in all nine communities of East Arnhem Land. This will be achieved through ongoing support for the capacity and voice of their Local Authority, active collaboration and partnerships with other stakeholders, and a streamlined focus on community-centered administration.
