South32's Groote Eylandt manganese mine has resumed exports for the first time since severe cyclone damage to its wharf halted operations last year. The Groote Eylandt Mining Company (GEMCO) mine was badly damaged when Tropical Cyclone Megan hit the Northern Territory island in March 2024. Its wharf was destroyed by a loaded bulk carrier that smashed into the structure during cyclonic winds and high tides. Heavy rainfall also flooded the mine's pits and damaged a critical bridge and several roads.

It comes after an 11-month investigation into "workplace allegations" at his office was finalised. According to a NT government statement on Tuesday night, in June 2024, former chief minister Eva Lawler advised NT parliament she had referred "workplace allegations within the Office of the Independent Commissioner Against Corruption" to the Commissioner for Public Employment, for investigation.

The Northern Territory government has reached a settlement with the owners of a farm who cleared almost 300 hectares of land without a permit, ending a prosecution believed to be the first of its kind in the territory. In November 2023 the government launched legal action against the owners of Claravale Farm, alleging 286 hectares of the property had been cleared without a land-clearing permit in contravention of the NT Planning Act.

In short: The federal government has awarded $24.5 million funding for Charles Darwin University and Menzies School of Health Research to establish the NT's first locally-run medical school. Supporters say the program will have a focus on closing the gap in Indigenous health outcomes, as well as regional, remote and rural health. What's next: The school is expected to open in 2026, though CDU is in talks with the NT government to potentially speed up the opening to 2025.
