Former Don Dale Youth Detention Center site demolition

The Department of Infrastructure, Planning and Logistics is demolishing the former Don Dale Youth Detention Centre site on Tivendale Road, Berrimah.

The Northern Territory Government will invest $2M to undertake Stage 1 demolition of the main centre and clearing of the site. Investigations into the repurposing of the site are occurring.

A public tender has been released to undertake demolition of the existing building and associated infrastructure.

Demolition will commence July 2024 and is expected to be completed October 2024.

Demolition

Demolition works will take place Monday to Friday between the hours of 8:00am and 4:30pm.

Some weekend work may be required throughout the demolition process and this will be communicated in advance where possible.

The contractor will take all practicable measures to reduce impacts to nearby residents such as noise and dust.

There will be no changes to traffic or detours in place.
