A Vision for the Anmatjere Region:2012

By 2012, people living in the Anmatjere (Ti Tree) region will be enjoying the fruits of both a strong economy and a vibrant and harmonious community.

The name 'Anmatjere' will be synonymous with the region, its people and its industries. Many industries for example, brand their goods with the Anmatjere name and logo.

The economy, based on pastoralism, tourism and horticulture, is thriving. Local pastoralists have re-structured old pastoral leases in partnership with Traditional Owners, to expand the areas able to be stocked and managed. Many of the horticultural businesses are either joint ventures or wholly owned by Aboriginal people.

The History and Cultural Centre, built partly by donations from the community and partly from government funding, is the centre of the community's activities. The school uses the facility for concerts and graduation ceremonies and the community for meetings or arts and cultural events.

Access to the gas pipeline from Alice Springs to Darwin, rail yards, communication systems and an extensive power grid provide adequate infrastructure support for the economy and quality of life for residents.

Ti Tree township is the hub of the region and is a place for the locals to shop, meet and do business. Industry sources many of its supplies in Ti Tree due to the existence of agri-business sub-agencies.

Community spirit and partnership are a hallmark of the region, and people are kept informed through the well-read local community newspaper.
