Pormpuraaw Aboriginal Shire Council

The Council has received unqualified audit opinions since 2012/13 financial year (10 years of continuously achieving this result) and in the 2015/16 financial year Council  achieved for the first time all 3 measures of financial sustainability.  It was a great achievement for Council and each year Council will continue to strive to achieve these results.
