Central Australian communities will soon have more suitable roads on which to travel, with much-needed repairs being arranged to fix flood-damaged routes.

They include Mount Denison Road in Central Australia, which will undergo flood repair works following the Northern Territory government awarding a $6 million contract.

NT Minister for Logistics and Infrastructure, Bill Yan made the announcement this month after the road was significantly impacted by ex-Tropical Cyclone Ellie in the 2022/23 wet season and subsequent weather events.

Many remote and other predominantly Indigenous communities were severely impacted by Ellie, with evacuations being carried out and significant damage done to homes and infrastructure.

Mr Yan said Mount Denison Road, located northwest of Alice Springs off the Stuart Highway, is a vital access road for local communities and both the mining and pastoral industries.

"The Northern Territory government is focused on delivering better infrastructure for Territorians, to not only ensure better roads for locals but improved access for industry to help drive economic growth," Minister Yan said.

"Rebuilding the economy and restoring the Territory's reputation as a competitive destination to live, work, visit and invest is a key focus of the Northern Territory Government."

The project is jointly funded by the Northern Territory and federal governments through Disaster Recovery Funding Arrangements.

Alice Springs-based company, D & C Dehne Constructions, will undertake repair works along various sections of Mount Denison Road, totalling 37.8km.

The project is expected to support nine employees, with works anticipated to commence in November 2024 and be completed by June 2025.
