Hi all,
The next community get together to talk about the issues and concerns around the art gallery project will be Monday night 5.30pm.

Monday-night focus:

- Refining the background timeline, preliminary messaging and calls for accountability/clarity.
- Methodology for a 22nd July Community Event.

++++

Background:

It is clear that there remains a high level of community concern and frustration concerning the Art Gallery project and the implications for our town, including but not limited to the chosen site of Anzac Oval.

The community frustration with the decision to award the $150 Million contract 6 weeks out from an NT election is significant. It is clear that there are still huge concerns by a wide range of Central Arrernte families, Alice Springs community members and other regional stakeholders.

Meeting Updates:
+++

The process to build an intercultural community response that is healthy and effective will take time. Thankyou to all those people who have been part of the journey in the past - and those who have expressed a willingness to be part of this journey going forward. Yes, it is going to be a challenge to change key elements (such as location) at this stage.

Nonetheless, all attendees feel that it is important to have these conversations and see what can be done if the community can come together around this issue at this time.

Forward horizon:
+++

A bigger-scale, open town-wide meeting with speakers is tentatively scheduled for MONDAY 22nd July. Please keep this date free. Link in comments. If you would like to be a speaker or help plan this event please send a PM or come along to Monday's meeting.
