Improved living at 10 Mile
Tucked away 244 km north of Alice Springs, 10 Mile Outstation is a tiny homeland made up of just 2 homes – one for a mother, and the other for her daughter and partner.
Recently, these homes were given a fresh start thanks to the Homelands Housing and Infrastructure Program. Works started in late 2024 and were completed in June 2025, providing the family with more secure and sustainable properties on their country.
These upgrades included enhanced outdoor spaces, which saw the daughter’s yard cleared and turned into a garden she is proud of.
She spoke with excitement about utilising the space for visitors and heading to Bunnings to pick up more plants. Having their home and yard upgraded on land that holds deep significance was a meaningful experience for the family.
‘This homeland is a very special place for myself and my mother.’
The improvements were delivered by Yapa-Kurlangu Aboriginal Corporation in partnership with Atyunpe Constructions, an Aboriginal owned business. The works at 10 Mile, along with projects at Arrunge and Pulardi outstations, were the first delivered by the new company – a significant milestone for the business.
These upgrades support our goals to help Aboriginal families stay connected to country, with homes they feel comfortable and proud to live in.
