Barkly Regional Deal Governance Table

The Barkly Regional Deal Governance Table oversees the implementation of the Deal. It is a unique feature of the Deal and highlights the importance of local community engagement for the Deal’s long-term success. The Deal is piloting this type of governance model to support the local community to lead, drive and champion economic growth and improve social outcomes, with coordinated support from the three tiers of government.

Landscape of Epenarra: Artist Susie Peterson, Epenarra 2018

"This image embodies traditional ritual knowledge of the Wutunugurra community. It was created with the consent of the custodians of the community. Dealing with any part of the image of any purpose that has not been authorised by the cutodians is a serious breach of the customary laws of the Wutunugurra community."

The Governance Table brings together representatives from the Australian Government, Northern Territory Government, Barkly Regional Council, Patta Native Title, Aboriginal Corporations Leadership Group, Aboriginal Alliance (including representatives from the 11 language groups across the region), Barkly Community Network, young people, and local business leaders.

The Governance Table meets every third month to review progress on the 28 initiatives.

The Governance Table is supported by the Backbone Team, which provides secretariat, advisory and support services.
