The authority serves an area of 624,339 square kilometres (241,059 square miles),[11] slightly smaller than France. The area has a population of 3,750, of whom 639 are Indigenous Australians (mostly if not all Aboriginal), and includes several large pastoral leases and mining operations.[12] The authority's area of responsibility does not include Aboriginal Local Government Areas, the largest of which are Anangu Pitjantjatjara Yankunytjatjara in the northwest of SA and Maralinga Tjarutja in the west of SA.

It is closely related to Arabana language of South Australia. The Wangkangurru language region was traditionally in the South Australian-Queensland border region taking in Birdsville and extending south towards Innamincka and Lake Eyre, including the local government areas of the Shire of Diamantina as well as the Outback Communities Authority of South Australia.[13] Yawarrawarrka (also known as Yawarawarka, Yawarawarga, Yawarawarka, Jauraworka, Jawarawarka) is an Australian Aboriginal language of Far Western Queensland. The traditional language region includes the local government area of the Shire of Diamantina extending into the Outback Communities Authority of South Australia towards Innamincka.[14] Outback Areas Community Development Trust[edit] The Outback Communities (Administration and Management) Act 2009 established the Outback Communities Authority as the legal successor to the Outback Areas Community Development Trust[9] which had previously been established in 1978 under the Outback Areas Community Development Trust Act 1978.[15] Organisational structure[edit] The authority consists of a board of seven members of which four must be residents of client communities. The board oversees a small team of support staff led by a general manager. As of 2012, support staff consisted of six persons employed full-time with one additional person employed part-time.[16] Client communities[edit] As of 2014, the authority provided services to the following communities: Andamooka, Beltana, Blinman, Border Village, Cockburn, Coorabie, Copley, Fowlers Bay, Glendambo, Innamincka, Iron Knob, Kingoonya, Leigh Creek, Lyndhurst, Marla, Mannahill, Marree, Oodnadatta, Parachilna, Penong, Pimba, William Creek, Woomera and Yunta.[17] Surrounding LGAs[edit] Because of the size of the Pastoral Unincorporated Area of South Australia, the authority provides services in an area bounded by a large number of local government areas (LGAs), 29 in total, both in South Australia and in the adjoining jurisdictions of New South Wales, the Northern Territory, Queensland and Western Australia. Its service area also completely surrounds the Municipal Council of Roxby Downs and the District Council of Coober Pedy. The following LGAs, which border the unincorporated area, total 27 with 17 being in South Australia: Places adjacent to Outback Communities Authority South Australia (from north to south) Anangu Pitjantjatjara Yankunytjatjara Maralinga Tjarutja Northern Territory (from west to east) MacDonnell Region ( Iyarrka Ward & Rodinga Ward) Queensland from west to east Diamantina, Barcoo, Bulloo Western Australia (from north to south) Laverton Menzies Kalgoorlie-Boulder Dundas Outback Communities Authority (Pastoral Unincorporated Area of South Australia) New South Wales (from north to south) Unincorporated Far West Wentworth Shire South Australia (from west to east) Ceduna, Streaky Bay, Wudinna, Kimba, Franklin Harbour, Whyalla, Port Augusta, Flinders Ranges, Orroroo Carrieton, Peterborough, Goyder, Mid Murray, Loxton Waikerie, Berri and Barmera & Renmark Paringa Citations and references[edit] Citations[edit] ^ Australian Bureau of Statistics (27 June 2017).
