May 2026 decisions
Community board decisions in May reflected the diversity of our communities, the range of activities that bring communities together and the support needed to provide equipment and facilities that improve the lives of Far Northerners.
From cemetery care to golf course maintenance, from upgrading playgrounds to upgrading Civil Defence equipment, from big loud and brash theatre productions to pest control. It's all going on in the Far North!
