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.

Roper Gulf Region
Covering a huge swathe of remote eastern Northern Territory, the Roper Gulf region includes the Gulf of Carpentaria coast and inland savannah country. Mataranka’s thermal pools, the ancient Lost City formations in Limmen National Park and fishing on the Roper River attract adventurous travellers. Roads are rough and facilities sparse, so visitors rely on local knowledge. Locals swim at the Mataranka Bitter Springs when the tourist crowds leave and showcase intricate carving and weaving at art centres in Ngukurr and Bulman.
Council has an approximate area of 185,000 km².
