The Barkly Regional Deal (the Deal) was announced in July 2018, when former Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull visited Tennant Creek at the invitation of former Barkly Regional Council Mayor Steve Edgington, with the Northern Territory Chief Minister, Michael Gunner and the Minister for Indigenous Affairs, Senator the Hon Nigel Scullion, agreeing the Barkly region would be a good place to deliver a place-based response to regional development, with the involvement of the Australian Government, NT Government and Barkly Regional Council.
The Prime Minister’s visit involved meeting community members to better understand community needs and aspirations, and to reinforce the community’s determination to chart a positive future for their children.
When the Deal Statement of Intent was signed in December 2018, a commitment was made by the three levels of government to develop and negotiate the Deal with the broader community, including Aboriginal people:
All parties agree that the Barkly Regional Deal will be developed with consultation, engagement and joint decision-making with local Aboriginal people, including through the cultural authority group.
