Matthew Palmer, from Corkwood Bore outstation near Alice Springs, has been elected chair of the Central Land Council (CLC).

At least 90 delegates met in Tennant Creek on Tuesday morning to decide the organisation's next leader, following the sudden death of former CLC chair Kunmanara Hoosan late last year.
