'No-one told us anything': NT community without services months after floods

Residents of the remote Indigenous community of Nauiyu in the Northern Territory (NT) continue to face significant challenges months after being displaced by severe floods in February and March 2023. The community, located along the Daly River, remains without essential services such as electricity, clean drinking water, and functional infrastructure. Longtime resident James Parry described the extent of the damage, noting that floodwaters reached halfway up his home and that many residents lost all their possessions. He highlighted ongoing issues including unsafe conditions in the aged care center, children missing from school, and poorly executed repairs. Clean water remains unavailable, with residents relying on bottled water deliveries. Community member Kieren Karritpul expressed that the town feels unrecognizable and no longer like home. These conditions reflect broader systemic failures in recovery efforts.
