Summary Information: | ||
The Yuendumu 'Swimming Pool' Shared Responsibility Agreement (SRA) is an agreement between the Office of Indigenous Policy Coordination (OIPC), the Department of Local Government, Housing and Sport, the Central Land Council (CLC) and Mt Theo-Yuendumu Substance Misuse Aboriginal Corporation. It provides for the funding of a 25 metre swimming and toddler pool with an ablution block. This community was one of the first to participate in the 'no school, no pool' joint Government initiative. Shared Responsibility Agreements are agreements between governments and Indigenous communities to provide discretionary funding in return for community obligations. The new arrangements developed from an initiative of the Council of Australian Governments and replace the previous ATSIC system of funding.
