West Arnhem Shire engaged AMRRIC, as consultants, to undertake the development of their 2009-2013 Animal Welfare and Control Program Framework.

The AMRRIC Executive Officer, Julia Hardaker and team, undertook consultations with local indigenous and non indigenous community members right across the shire. All communities including Gunbalunya, Warruwi and Minjalang, Jabiru and Maningrida had their say toward the development of a workable model for their shire. The shire now have a framework based on AMRRIC's nationally accredited Best Practice Model for Animal managament in remote communities.
