From the 4th to 6th of November 2022, Warumungu Elders from one family group known for their housing and climate justice advocacy hosted the Warlinginchi Apa Forum.
The Forum was about real people, real problems and real solutions. There was consensus from The Forum that remote housing has failed the people of Tennant Creek, and there are significant opportunities to do it the Warumungu way - to disrupt the paradigm by engaging with communities to build beautiful, climate-appropriate, sustainable homes in ways much more cost-effective than the current NT housing industry status quo. The Forum was the first step to achieving this outcome.

The next step will be to build some Demonstration Homes and invite other Wumpurrarni, Yapa, Anungu and other First Nations people to see what is possible and how it can be done.
