Alexandrina Council is a finalist in the 2024 National Economic Development Awards for Excellence, in the category of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Entrepreneurship and Inclusive Economic Development.

This recognition highlights the council’s collaborative efforts with the Ngarrindjeri Aboriginal Corporation at the Signal Point Experience Centre, in the Goolwa Wharf Precinct.

A permanent exhibition ‘Yuntulun Ku:li-War’ has been telling the stories of the Ngarrindjeri people, Goolwa's early settlement, and the ecology of the Murray Darling River system since the Centre launch in March 2024.

The exhibition name means ‘Coming together on the headland’ in the Ngarrindjeri language.

A First Nations business networking event was the inaugural event at the renovated and reopened Signal Point In May 2024.

National Economic Development awards winners will be announced at the annual conference gala event on 17 October.
