The Carnarvon Common Ground Project was established through an Aboriginal-led community group who wanted to see better services for education, health, police and justice.
GDC is proud to be supporting this project and is helping the community group develop into an operational Aboriginal Community Controlled Organisation which will not only work directly with local service providers but will run programs to address social issues in Carnarvon.
This model is based around Justice Reinvestment which is a form of preventative action around social issues such as family breakdown, poverty, unemployment, lack of meaningful training and job pathways, drug and alcohol, and mental health issues which can lead to anti- social behaviours. You can read more About Justice Reinvestment — Social Reinvestment WA here.
In 2024, GDC worked with a local Aboriginal community group to successfully secure Commonwealth funding which was integral for developing Carnarvon’s very own Justice Reinvestment Strategy and Action Plan. To follow the journey, visit www.carnarvoncommonground.com.au

Our Role in the Region
Nestled between two World Heritage listed areas that draw more than 220,000 overnight visitors a year, Carnarvon is a regional hub that offers more than expected. It is an emerging tourism destination with outstanding local food production, geothermal mineral water, exciting fishing and wind/water sports offerings and unique events.
Carnarvon has long been recognised for its unique small and sweet banana but that reputation is widening with an extensive range of subtropical fruit and temperate climate vegetables grown on the plantations lining the Gascoyne River.
The Gascoyne River is one of Australia’s ephemeral rivers, flowing only when heavy rain falls up to 500km inland. The township is on one of the delta inlets and centred on the picturesque Fascine.
A thriving prawn, scallop, crab and fishing industry also operates from Carnarvon. During the months of May to October freshly caught seafood can be purchased directly from the factories.
Renowned for its wonderful climate Carnarvon’s average maximum summer temperature (December to February) is 32oC with a winter (June to August) average maximum temperature of 22oC.
