Avian Flu Warning
The Department of Industry, Tourism and Trade is encouraging Territorians to be aware of Avian influenza, a serious disease impacting domestic and wild birds, including poultry.
While we’ve had no detection of the highly pathogenic strains (HPAI) in the NT, early detection is important and all Territorians can do their bit to help us detect a potential outbreak.
Key points:
- Avian Influenza is a serious disease of wild and native birds, in addition to poultry such as chickens, ducks, geese, and turkeys.
- To date, Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza has not been detected in the Northern Territory.
- Early detection is critical in managing the potential spread of the virus.
- Please report any sightings of multiple sick or deceased birds by contacting the 24-hour Animal Disease Hotline at 1800 675 888.
- To stay up to date and to access information on Avian Influenza visit Avian influenza | NT.GOV.AU
We kindly request that you confirm where the information has been disseminated to help us track the reach of this messaging.
Biosecurity is everyone’s responsibility and we thank you for your cooperation.
Thursday 24 April 2025 MEDIA RELEASE Batchelor Community Postal Agency Update Batchelor residents are advised that all mail services have been temporarily diverted to the Adelaide River Store/Post Office while Council works with Australia Post to establish a new Community Postal Agency (CPA) at the Batchelor Visitor Information Centre. The short-term arrangement ensures Australia Post can continue to provide access to essential postal services during the transition. Council expects to complete fit-out works at the Visitor Centre next week, with staff training commencing simultaneously. Visitor information services will remain operational throughout this period. The community is also reminded that the CPA will only be a distribution point for incoming mail and parcels. Other postal services will need to be accessed at other Postal Agencies in the greater Darwin Region. An opening date for the new CPA will be confirmed by the end of next week, pending successful completion of the fit-out and staff readiness. The facility will combine postal services with existing visitor information services, maintaining Batchelor’s role as a key gateway to Litchfield National Park. Council appreciates the community’s patience and assures residents that the Council’s interim CPA will keep mail services local while supporting tourism in the region. For further information, please contact: Coomalie Community Government Council 22 Cameron Road, Batchelor NT Phone: 08 8976 0058 Email: mail@coomalie.nt.gov.au ENDS
