Rum Jungle Road Upgrades

August 13, 2024

Rum Jungle Project - Intersection Upgrades

Roadworks are scheduled to be undertaken later this year to upgrade the Litchfield Park Road/Rum Jungle Road intersection, and the Litchfield Park Road/Poett Road intersection. These upgrades will improve the safety of road users throughout the duration of the Rum Jungle Rehabilitation Project, and will include the installation of new left turn lanes, reconstruction of existing road pavement, installation of guardrails and signs, and line marking.

The roadworks will be scheduled to minimise disruption to road users, and will be staged to ensure that one lane of traffic remains open throughout construction. Traffic management will be in place throughout construction, including vehicle actuated portable traffic signals and/or traffic controllers. Access to nearby properties will be maintained at all times.

If you have any questions or concerns, please email rumjungleproject@nt.gov.au or contact Kate Turner on 0476 307 756.

Community Post Office Update

April 24, 2025

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
