The existing community government councils were absorbed by eight new shire councils (Edgar, 247). Consequently, the Tiwi Islands Local Government became the Tiwi Islands Shire Council. |

It is responsible for exercising local government functions over two Tiwi Islands; Bathurst and Melville, and the communities of Nguiu, Wurankuwu, Milikapiti (Snake Bay) and Pirlangimpi (Garden Point), as well as a number of smaller outstations on both islands (website).
