NT National Highway Flood Resilience Study

The Flood Resilience Study has been commissioned to better understand the nature of flooding across the entire national highway network at a planning study scale. The study will identify crossings and highway links that present critical constraints, assess the economic feasibility of improvement projects, and prioritise areas for further investigation and potential upgrades.

Outcomes of the study will support reduced community isolation and improved safety, improved road transport reliability across the NT and to other states, a reduction in economic disruption, and less reliance on post-flood inspections, repair and replacement of infrastructure. This project represents a proactive shift from post-flood repair to long-term planning, ensuring the Territory is better prepared for the impacts of climate change and increasing rainfall intensity.
