Wungkul Community Store

Providing a service to the Community.

The primary objective of the Wungkul Store management is to improve and stabilise its long-term operational service, financial performance and transparency such that it provides a reliable source of goods, services and employment to members of the community.

As a community service, its charter is to provide access to food and services in an environment where the storage of food lines does not occur in every home. With poor indigenous health being a well-recognised issue and its reversal being a high priority, the importance of a reliable supply of quality fresh produce at an affordable price has been factored into all planning and negotiations.

To reduce inequalities in health, individuals, families and the communities need access to food consistent with dietary guidelines, Wungkul Store management recognises and is proactive in its role of healthy food provision, its efficient distribution as well as optimum storage and effective display.

Established in 1983, Wungkul is an enterprise owned by Warmun Community through its corporate arm “Canila Pty Ltd” and it provides a wide range of retail product including groceries, hardware, clothing, kitchenware, giftware, fuels fresh & frozen goods, dry goods, perishables, white goods, entertainment products and automotive accessories. The enterprise also provides basic take away / fast food and provides an Auto Teller Machine giving community members access to limited banking facilities.

Small stores selling perishable food products in small or isolated communities face many challenges including the difficult logistics of transport and the high overheads associated in maintaining buildings, equipment and stock in remote locations. There is a further difficulty in ensuring that managers of community stores have adequate skills in purchasing and in stock and financial management.

Currently the store employs 2 managers, a storeman and a cashier.
