ALC 15 year Strategic Plan 6. Goal B: Best Practice Service Delivery 75 ACTIONS: 68. Sign an MoU with all business, service providers and key organisations on the island to jointly create a comprehensive waste management system for the Groote archipelago. 69. Introduce a policy to charge a levy for all vehicles, sea containers and boats brought onto Groote Eylandt. 70. Coordinate regular crushing of car bodies and removal off Groote Eylandt by barge as scrap metal. ROADS Preparation should begin now to improve road infrastructure within Angurugu so that minimal upgrades are required in future. A comprehensive maintenance plan should be created for all road infrastructure. The Department of Families, Housing, Community Services and Indigenous Affairs (FaHCSIA) through the Indigenous Remote Service Delivery Special Account is supporting East Arnhem Shire Council with an application for funds to make safe the internal road network in Angurugu. The application for $1.1 million is progressing and is awaiting approval by the Minister for Families, Community Services and Indigenous Affairs (as at November 2012, Stage 2 of a two-stage application process had been submitted by East Arnhem Shire Council). If successful, the funding will enable the Shire to bring the internal roads network in Angurugu to a standard that will be safe for all road users including pedestrians. This will then provide the Shire with the time and opportunity to prepare and submit applications to other funding sources to upgrade the roads to an appropriate standard. Designs for footpaths and road crossings suitable for wheelchair access needs to be incorporated into these works.
