The Macdonnell community directory brings together essential services like health, disability and ageing support, community clubs and halls, Aboriginal and cultural services, education and training, legal and advocacy programs, environment and conservation, and recreation.

It also includes crisis support, accommodation, transport and youth programs, plus volunteering and self‑help groups across categories such as sport, arts, communication, and welfare assistance.

Macdonnell Region

Encircling Alice Springs, the Macdonnell region is defined by parallel ranges of red rock, ancient riverbeds and remote Aboriginal settlements. West MacDonnell National Park offers iconic hikes to Ormiston Gorge, Redbank Gorge and the Larapinta Trail, while the eastern side includes art centres in communities like Santa Teresa. The ghost gum‑lined Todd River cuts through spinifex plains. Locals visit Simpsons Gap at dawn to spot black‑footed rock wallabies and enjoy music events at the desert oasis of Glen Helen Lodge.

Council has an approximate area of 268,000 km².
