Relaunch of 80 Hartley Street
Today I was honoured to attend the relaunch of 80 Hartley st. A place many people will have known as Oriental Gourmet since 1986.
This newly renovated space will be looked after and utilised as an office into the future.
Thank you to Mr Randle Walker and Centrecorp for your support of heritage buildings in Alice Springs.

Thanks to;
Centrecorp Board: for approving the budget for these works.
Benson Gunner, staff and subcontractors: dedicated to preserving the Heritage of this building, no shortcuts and no compromises.
Dept of Heritage: for their assistance with advice and approvals.
Neighbours: for putting up with works for 9 months.
The Heritage Precinct is not just a western, post-colonial Heritage construction its part of the Heritage of everyone that grew up in the town and there are Board Members who played on this street as youngsters. Therefore the area represents a shared Heritage and area of assimilation for Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal people alike.
This was a huge learning exercise – it would have been cheaper to completely demolish and start again than restore but that was the challenge. After demolition all that remained were the brick walls, roof timbers, a few windows and limited areas of remaining veranda area. I am sure you will agree what you see now is a great result for the property and the Heritage Precinct.

On behalf of Yirara College, I would like to sincerely thank you for your generous donation towards supporting four of our students who have qualified for the 2025 NT State Athletics Championships in Darwin this August.
Your contribution not only eases the financial burden for our families but also provides these young athletes with the opportunity to compete at a higher level and experience the pride of representing their community and school on the state stage.
We are incredibly grateful for your support and belief in our students.
Your generosity makes a lasting impact on their sporting journey and encourages them to continue striving for excellence both on and off the track.
Thank you once again for partnering with us to make this experience possible. We look forward to sharing updates and celebrating their achievements with you.

Dear Randle and the Centrecorp Board,
On behalf of the CHCA Board, CEO Ken Marchingo and myself, I would like to sincerely thank you and acknowledge Centrecorp’s generous commitment of $4.8 million to deliver 15 replacement properties for those currently leased to CHCA by private investors.
This investment is not only timely but truly transformational for the My Place program and the families it supports. It provides stability, certainty, and the foundation for a stronger future for those who need it most.
We deeply value our ongoing partnership with Centrecorp. Your continued support of CHCA’s purpose demonstrates a shared commitment to building a stronger, more inclusive Alice Springs through safe, secure, and culturally appropriate housing.
We are excited about what lies ahead and look forward to working closely together to bring this next stage to life.
With gratitude and respect,
Shelly Beattie
