Builders have reached a milestone on the Nightcliff Police Station project in the Northern Territory, following the installation of the building’s roof.
Construction began on the Nightcliff Police Station earlier this year, supporting 150 jobs.
The project has made significant progress since April 2020, with remediation, earthworks, building pad, in ground services and blockwork all complete.
Once the roof is complete – and important pre-Wet Season step – the building fit out will commence, including internal walls and ceilings.
As part of the project, construction company Halikos will be hosting a Structured Work Placement for a Marrara Christian College student later this month, providing large-scale project experience for students looking to enter a trade.

The wider project including the social housing development also incorporates a pedestrian friendly green space and landscaping.
“We are ensuring our police have the best resources possible to undertake the tough work they do, that includes better police stations in our towns and our communities, Police, Fire and Emergency Services Minister Nicole Manison said.
“We have already delivered new stations in Palmerston and Angurugu, Nightcliff is on track for completion in 2021, and new stations in Ngukurr and Maningrida will be getting underway soon.
“No Government has delivered more for our police.”
Member for Nightcliff Natasha Fyles said the Territory Government had listened to the needs of the community and are making good on its promise.
“We promised to deliver a 24-hour Police Station to service the inner-northern suburbs and we are; this revitalising project is creating approximately 250 important jobs across both the police station and social housing redevelopment,” Fyles said.
