About Northern Peninsula Area Regional Community Directory

The Northern Peninsula Community Directory provides information for the Northern Peninsula Area Regional Council at the tip of Cape York. Covering communities such as Bamaga, Seisia, New Mapoon, Umagico and Injinoo, the region has strong Torres Strait Islander and Aboriginal heritage. The directory lists local health clinics, schools, cultural centres, community programs, sporting clubs, employment and training services, council facilities and emergency contacts, ensuring residents and visitors can find services in this remote but vibrant peninsula area.

Health, emergency and welfare services in the Northern Peninsula area include small health clinics, visiting doctors and specialists, crisis and counselling hotlines, accommodation support and welfare assistance programmes. The directory also lists community clubs and interest groups, arts and creative projects, sports and recreation clubs, youth programmes, cultural and migrant services, environmental groups and religious or philosophical organisations, alongside education, training and employment services. Because this shire is remote, many specialist services such as allied health care, legal assistance and disability or youth support are delivered by visiting providers or regional outreach, while local community organisations and volunteers offer daily support and cultural activities.

Northern Peninsula Area

At the very tip of Cape York Peninsula, the Northern Peninsula Area includes the communities of Bamaga, Seisia, Umagico, Injinoo and New Mapoon. Torres Strait and Aboriginal cultures intertwine, and red tracks lead to rainforest, beaches and historic sites. Residents enjoy visiting the ruins of Somerset homestead, once the Jardine family residence overlooking Albany Passage, and swimming in crystal‑clear pools at Fruit Bat Falls on the Old Telegraph Track during the dry season.

Council has an approximate area of 1,000 km².
