Living in remote West Arnhem comes with unique challenges, particularly during the wet season when extreme weather, flooding and access to communities can become major concerns.
That’s why strong emergency planning, coordinated responses and partnerships are so important.
Mayor James Woods and CEO Katharine Murray attended the 2026 NT Emergency Management Symposium in Darwin this week, connecting with emergency services, government agencies and organisations from across Australia.
The symposium was an opportunity to share experiences, learn from others and strengthen relationships that play an important role in supporting our communities before, during and after emergencies.
Council is committed to working alongside emergency services and local organisations to help keep our communities safe and supported when it matters most.
We also extend our sincere thanks to our emergency services personnel and partner organisations for the important work they do.

Bird flu has not been detected in the Northern Territory, but it’s important that we all know what to look out for.

If you see multiple sick or dead birds, do not touch them.
What to do:
✅ Avoid handling the bird
📍 Record the location
📞 Report it online (for wild birds only) or call the 24-hour Emergency Animal Disease Hotline on 1800 675 888

Please share this information with your family and community.

Mayor James Woods enjoyed catching up with representatives from the Australian Fisheries Management Authority (AFMA) and NORFORCE during a community engagement activity in Maningrida last week.
AFMA and NORFORCE work closely together to help protect Australia’s northern waters, marine environment and fishing zones from illegal foreign fishing.
It was a great opportunity to learn more about their important work across the Top End and connect on the ground in West Arnhem.

🐶 JABIRU LAKESIDE OFF-LEASH DOG PARK

We’ve received a few questions about the new fenced facility at Jabiru Lake – it’s the Jabiru Lakeside Off-Leash Dog Park!

The dog park provides a safe and secure space for dogs to exercise, play and enjoy some time off-leash.
The park is now open for residents and visitors to enjoy while Council completes some finishing touches over the coming weeks, including:
🔸Signage
🔸Two water bubblers with dog bowls
🔸Dog exercise and play equipment

The dog park forms part of the Jabiru Lakeside Precinct Project, which aims to create more functional and enjoyable recreational spaces for residents and visitors. Watch this space for more children’s play equipment!

The project has been funded through the Rio Tinto Social Infrastructure Fund.

Pictured: Kathy and Jetson enjoying the park for the first time.
