The Ilpeye Ilpeye community is - always was and will be - our home and our land. In 1986 we obtained Crown Lease of our land. In 2009 we negotiated Crown Lease to transition into freehold. Over a decade later, in 2022, we gained freehold title - a first for Alice Springs and the Northern Territory.

The freehold land title allows for the first time, community residents, elders and leaders to decide how best to develop our own land, own our homes and maintain our community; we self-determine our own future!

Through ownership, control and active management of residential estate and country, the Ilpeye Ilpeye community can achieve self-determination on their land. In time, community elders and leaders are able to transition traditional ways and protocols, ownership responsibility, caring for country knowledge to our children and their children - to the next generations.

Future generations to continue the legacy of controlling, managing their own Indigenous-held land, and then pass it onto those coming after them.
