The Northern Territory Government is continuing to deliver structural improvements to the iconic Nightcliff jetty to increase public safety.

The first stage of improvement works was completed in March this year, allowing the reopening of the facility after a temporary closure, and a second stage of works is now underway.

This second stage of upgrade works will be carried out by local contractor, Akron Group, and includes replacement of the decking planks, and continuation of repairs to the footings and T-head of the jetty.

For this work to be carried out safely, the jetty will be temporarily closed to the public for one week from Monday 24 October 2016.

Local residents will receive information about the closure in a letterbox drop, with public notices also placed in the newspaper.

The improvement works are expected to be completed by January 2017.
