This morning we're joined on the Big Brekky Program by Sid Vashist, Mayor of the Barkly Regional Council, to talk about a significant issue currently being discussed at the Northern Territory Government level — the possible de-amalgamation of regional councils, including the Barkly.  

The idea of breaking larger councils back into smaller local governments is being explored, and it could have major implications for service delivery, governance, and community representation in remote regions.  

Mayor Vashist joins us to share the Barkly Regional Council’s perspective and provide some insight into what this could mean for the region.
