East Arnhem Land
The East Arnhem Region covers 38,434 square kilometres, some 3% of the Northern Territory. It encompasses the East Arnhem Statistical Subdivision including Groote Eylandt, and is centred on the town of Nhulunbuy.
Nhulunbuy is the service centre for a rural population some three times the size of the town itself and for those tourists visiting the area. The region supports a range of industries: fishing, mining, tourism, aboriginal services, construction, retail, community and government services. The Region is one of the most remote in Australia with many land connections cut for months at a time during the wet season. The construction of a gas pipeline from Katherine to Gove in the medium term should have direct and indirect benefits that will enhance the region’s economic outlook.
