Welcome to the Outback Communities Authority

The Outback Communities Authority (OCA) was established on 1 July 2010, replacing the Outback Areas Community Development Trust as the management and governance authority for the outback.

The Authority is responsible for 65 percent of our State, where there are more 30 outback communities and numerous grazing and farming properties not serviced by local councils.

Outback communities can look forward to having a greater say in what happens in the outback, with the new Authority committed to consulting the community about what services and infrastructure would deliver the greatest benefits to residents.
