History

​

Yilli Rreung Housing Aboriginal Corporation was established in July 2003 by the Yilli Rreung ATSIC Regional Council to become the peak Indigenous housing organisation providing housing, municipal and infrastructure services to Indigenous people in Darwin and surrounding communities.

​

Yilli's operations started in a small office in Palmerston before it moved to Berrimah Estate in 2007. In May 2020, Yilli purchased its own office space at Callanan Road Yarrawonga. 

​

The meaning of Yilli Rreung – The Meeting Place
Yilli Rreung was a special meeting place above Lameroo Beach near Doctors Gully on the Esplanade in Darwin. Yilli Reung was used as a ceremonial meeting place, where people would travel across Darwin harbour in their canoes to meet.

Yilli Rreung Region covers a large area in the Top End of the Northern Territory.
