After a quiet time in January everyone is back in full swing for 2018.

With Easter and the Dry Season just around the corner, we will soon be saying goodbye to the rains. It’s been a better than forecast Wet Season so far-seems all the rain has mostly fallen in one 2-3 week period in January though, cutting all our communities off from each other by road!

We would like to take this opportunity to commend everyone on the caution that’s been used on our roads this Wet Season – the majority of people have been keeping off the roads during the last Monsoon burst.

Things are starting to kick into gear here at the Tiwi Land Council. The calendar is quickly filling up with lots of meetings, training and events coming up.

We held our election for Tiwi Land Council Chairman and Deputy Chairman on the 14^th February. Our Chairman for his third term, and Leslie Tungatulum has elected Deputy Chairman. Congratulations to bother Tiwi leaders.

In March we are holding a Vernon Islands handover ceremony – the Vernon’s are now officially Tiwi (Mantiyupwi) land! In March TLC will be meeting with the 3 other NT Land Councils to catch up and discuss common issues. We will report and inform you.
