The Department of Infrastructure, Planning and Logistics is demolishing the former Don Dale Youth Detention Centre site on Tivendale Road, Berrimah.

The Northern Territory Government will invest $2 million to undertake the demolition of the existing buildings and clearing of the site. Investigations into the repurposing of the site are occurring.

Demolition commenced in July 2024 and is expected to be completed by October 2024.
