Background
- Ngukurr Remote Aboriginal Community is one of the most isolated and remote Aboriginal communities on the banks of the Roper River in southern Arnhem Land, Northern Territory. A number of different clans and language groups are represented in the town, with Power outages, cyclones and vermin adding to the challenges facing any infrastructure development for the Ngukurr Community particularly the supply of reliable lighting. Despite the obstacles Roper Gulf Regional Council has announced the development of a plan to build safe road and pedestrian links between the Ngukurr School and Shop areas.
Solution
- The key parts of the plan included 6 new GFS-200 solar street lights along the pedestrian path and walkways throughout the community.
