Builder-trainer program
A
t present Council has a shortage of housing in many of its communities, including housing to accommodate CDP staff. As such, some staff are required to travel from Alice Springs on a weekly basis. With thanks to the Department of the Prime Minister and Cabinet, this issue is about to be alleviated slightly in two of Council’s nine communities. Council’s builder-trainer has been working with CDP participants in Willowra to assemble a three-bedroom flatpack house which is now complete. This initiative means fewer Council staff on the roads between communities, reduced operating costs, increased face-to-face contact time with job seekers and has facilitated on-the-job training for six CDP participants. A win-win scenario all round.

A second house is being constructed in Ti Tree with seven job seekers. Unfortunately, a third builder-trainer house did not proceed due to a lack of suitable serviced lots and water in target communities.
