The NT Chief Minister, Natasha Fyles, appeared in Mparntwe Alice Springs today and gave a brief update on the recent floods in Northern Territory communities, with a focus on the Pidgeon Hole and Kalkaringi communities that were hit hardest.
“We’re working as quickly as we can to get some assessment teams out, in Kalkaringi I understand essential services weren’t disrupted too badly, so we should be able to get homes back online in Kalkaringi.”
Full update below.
Ms Fyles says that she had recently visited Howard Springs before arriving in Alice Springs, where those that have lost their homes due to the floods are temporarily residing.
She ended the update with a plea to those in remote communities effected by the floods to not panic buy.
