- NATHANIEL CHAMBERS

BORROLOOLA is in line for a big infrastruc­ture upgrade with the NT government delivering improved sporting facilities and a cyclone shelter.

The $6.9m Borroloola Sports Courts and Cyclone Shelter project is set to create a long lasting community product.

The project is funded by the NT government, the McArthur River Mine Community Benefits Trust and Roper Gulf Regional Council.

Infrastruc­ture, Planning and Logistics Minister Eva Lawler said the constructi­on would support local jobs. “Our government is investing in projects and initiative­s that will drive economic prosperity and job creation, and improve the safety and liveabilit­y in communitie­s, right across the Territory,” she said. “Constructi­on of the sports courts and cyclone shelter in Borroloola will support local jobs and provide safety for community residents during tropical events.”
