The Nhulunbuy Corporation facilitates a community advisory committee known as the Nhulunbuy Town Board. The role of the Town Board is to provide community and stakeholder feedback to the Nhulunbuy Corporation on how to improve the services and facilities the Corporation is responsible for within Nhulunbuy, the Industrial Estate and Gove Airport.
The operating parameters of the Town Board are set out in the Town Board Constitution. The Board meets on the fourth Tuesday of every month and the public are welcome to attend meetings if they wish. Alternatively, residents are able to raise issues for discussion by contacting one of the Elected Members.
Elections
Town Board elections are generally held every two years with the next election to be held in November 2024. Voting for the Town Board is optional. The elected Members represent the entire population of Nhulunbuy and the Industrial Estate.

Shaun Adams
Rio Tinto Representative
I am an archaeologist with a background in research and working with Indigenous groups throughout northern Australia. I have worked with Rio Tinto Gove since 2020 ensuring Traditional Owners are at the forefront of mine planning and that culturally sensitive places are protected. I hope to be a conduit between the town and the mine, keeping both parties informed and represented.
