The Finocchiaro CLP Government is calling on the City of Darwin to let ratepayers know when they can use Shoal Bay Waste Facility for green waste.
Minister for Housing, Local Government and Community Development Steve Edgington said the NT Government has announced that the temporary waste management site established at Hidden Valley following Tropical Cyclone Fina will remain open longer to support ongoing clean-up efforts.
"Our essential workers have been slogging it out since Sunday helping Territorians in the clean-up and recovery form Cyclone Fina.
"We've had Palmerston and Litchfield council do their part and open up their waste facilities to assist with the clean-up and allow ratepayers to dump residential and green waste.
"The NT Government opened up the area for green waste at Hidden Valley, but it has now been 5 days and still City of Darwin has not opened Darwin's main facility for ratepayers to dispose of residential green waste.
"The temporary waste management site at Hidden Valley will be open to the public for residential green waste until 7 December.
"Darwin ratepayers deserve clear information from the City of Darwin advising when they can start disposing their residential green waste at the Shoal Bay Waste Facility. "
