Ilperle Tyathe (Ilp-earl-a Cha-Ta) or Warlpiri Camp was first incorporated on the 17th, November 1978 by residents to support their efforts to obtain security of tenure; housing and essential services. Ilperle Tyathe is located at Lot 5149 which has been held by virtue of a Special Purpose Lease in Perpetuity for Aboriginal Communal Purposes since 1979. Ilperle Tyathe is home to speakers of Warlpiri. The 2005 population and mobility study identified that the resident population at that time was 109 people and that the service population was as high as 177 people . In December 2009 Ilperle Tyathe entered a Tripartite Alice Springs Living Area Sublease with the Executive Director of Township Leasing (Commonwealth) and the CEO of Housing (Territory) for a period of 40 years, under the threat of compulsory acquisition. This agreement led to an investment in housing and infrastructure by the Commonwealth and Territory as part of the Strategic Indigenous Housing and Infrastructure Program (SIHIP); and to the transition from community-controlled housing to housing management by the Department of Local Government, Housing and Community Development (DLGHCD). Today Ilperle Tyathe is home to 9 households, prior to SIHIP there was only 7 households. It is predicted that the population of Ilperle Tyathe has seen an increase proportionate to the increased number of dwellings. Ilperle Tyathe is a Corporate Member of TCAC.
