BAC WORKSHOP
Exciting new opportunities

The BAC Workshop provides vehicle repairs to the BAC fleet, outstation people, other agencies within Maningrida and Maningrida residents. The services of the workshop are vital to members as they enable them to access and live on their outstations.

This year has seen the opening of the new spare parts shop and a purpose built wrecking yard. They are part of BAC's ongoing investment in increasing employment and training opportunities for Aboriginal people whilst at the same time providing additional retail services.

The wrecking yard is the ideal place for trainees to commence learning about how a vehicle works as they dismantle vehicles to recycle the components through the spare parts shop. Community members can either purchase the second hand parts themselves if undertaking their own repairs, or request second hand parts be used to reduce their workshop bill.

With these new facilities, well equipped offices, and a full complement of mechanics, the Workshop is well placed to concentrate on the challenge of attracting and retaining Aboriginal trainees.
