Message from
Mayor Daryl Sexton
On behalf of the Yarrabah Aboriginal Shire Council, I welcome you to our online community space.
The land within the boundaries of Yarrabah Aboriginal Shire Council is the traditional country of the Gunggandji and Yidinji peoples. We pay our respects to Elders past and present and acknowledge all Yarrabah people brought here from various locations under past government policies.
Our community is strong, proud and deeply connected to culture and country. That connection guides Council’s work as we build local opportunity, improve services and support the wellbeing of our families.
Thank you for visiting and for being part of Yarrabah’s journey.
