New furnishings for Akangkentye Hostel
The newly refurbished Akangkentye Hostel (Mt Gillen Hostel) is a step closer to providing much needed temporary accommodation for people visiting Alice Springs, as well as providing town camp residents with a place to stay while their houses are being refurbished as part of the Transformation Plan.
Akangkentye Hostel is a 65-bed temporary accommodation facility, managed by Aboriginal Hostels Limited.
Under the Alice Springs Transformation Plan, the Australian and Northern Territory Governments have provided $260,000 to furnish the hostel.
