Jimmy Cocking and Rodney Angelo dropped into the Big Brekky Show with some sad news – the team have made the difficult decision to cancel Wide Open Space in 2025. Only half of their budgeted grants came through and the strain on the dedicated volunteers and general financial risk is too great.

‘We don’t know what the future holds for WOS but if it is to continue then it will need energy and guidance from people across the Alice Spring and WOS community.  

We are keen to work with those who are willing and able to help transition WOS to a new structure that can leverage more sustainable funding. So, if you want to make WOS 2026 happen then get in contact.’
