Shiers Street Housing Redevelopment

The Northern Territory Government demolished the former public housing complex on Shiers Street in The Narrows.

The housing complex was built in the 1970s and was no longer fit for purpose. Refurbishing existing buildings at the site does not represent a value for money outcome for government.

Since 2021, residents at Shiers Street were progressively transferred to alternative public housing accommodation in preparation.

The project has included:

• the demolition of existing buildings and associated infrastructure and
• site remediation.

Construction of new housing is not part of the current phase of works.

The project is expected to be completed by June 2025.
