BAWINANGA ABORIGINAL CORP Information

Bawinanga is a progressive Aboriginal corporation based in Maningrida. We represent the Aboriginal people of 32 homelands surrounding Maningrida in West Arnhem Land, and we are the major service provider for people living on those homelands. All of our work is carried out in the context of people’s traditional lands, cultural practices and languages. In addition to our advocacy role, we deliver housing maintenance and municipal and essential services to homelands. We manage other programs and enterprises including the Bawinanga Rangers, Maningrida Arts & Culture, Bábbarra Women’s Centre, the Djómi Museum, Barlmarrk Supermarket, a Tucker Run to the homelands and mechanical workshops. We also manage Maningrida’s Community Development Program (CDP), Night Patrol, Money Management and the Remote School Attendance programs, and we maintain roads and airstrips in the region through our civil works program.
