After heavy thunderstorms led to significant flash flooding in Alice Springs, the town has commenced its clean-up efforts. Residents reported damage to homes and businesses, with roads also suffering from the effects of the floodwaters. Mayor Asta Hill acknowledged community concerns over inadequate information prior to the flooding and expressed a commitment to enhance communication and preparation for future weather events.

The Local Member for Lingiari, Marion Scrymgour, is urging all levels of government to take proactive measures to improve local flood mitigation strategies. This appeal comes in the wake of the damage caused by the recent flooding, as well as heightened concerns over the town's vulnerability to such extreme weather events. Scrymgour's call emphasizes the importance of governmental collaboration in ensuring the safety and resilience of the community.

As the clean-up continues, NT Police deputy regional commander James Gray-Spence affirmed that several properties, particularly on Dixon Road and areas north of the town, were severely impacted. With weather warnings now lifted, the focus is shifting to restoring normalcy while addressing the community's needs and improving infrastructure to prevent future flooding incidents.
