The Finocchiaro CLP Government continues to support flood evacuees from the communities of Nauiyu and Palumpa, announcing Stage 2 evacuation measures.
From Friday, evacuees from Palumpa will be transferred to the Batchelor Outdoor Education Unit.
It is anticipated that from Monday 23 March, evacuees from Nauiyu will be transferred to accommodation facilities at the Batchelor Institute.
These locations will provide greater privacy and improved access for children to schooling and essential services. Catering and security will be provided.
Chief Minister Lia Finocchiaro said the recovery at Nauiyu and Palumpa will take time, and we need to move evacuees to Stage 2 of this evacuation.
"I want to acknowledge and thank the Batchelor Institute and local stakeholders for their support in accommodating evacuees during this challenging time," Mrs Finocchiaro said.
"We recognise the prolonged impact on these communities, particularly Nauiyu residents, who have now faced evacuation twice in recent months, and we remain committed to supporting them through recovery."
