Cyclone Fina Update: Community Facilities Update 26 November

Darwin City Council
  • The Council provides an update on what facilities will reopen tomorrow, Thursday 27 November. Full details below.

Additional Council facilities have been cleared to reopen tomorrow, while others will remain closed until further safety assessments and cleanup are completed.

Lord Mayor Peter Styles said the facilities assessments were going well, with crews working efficiently through the priority sites.

"Today we had three contractors on the ground - around 50 staff supported by 18 trucks - working across the city to begin clearing green waste from verges," he said.

"We appreciate everyone's understanding and we will share more updates as soon as they're available," he added.
