Alice Springs Faces Catastrophic Flood Risk: Urgent Calls for Better Mitigation
Alice Springs is grappling with a severe flood risk, with local leader Robyn Lambley warning the Northern Territory government to act immediately. A flash flood in February caused significant damage, with insurance premiums skyrocketing due to the increased risk. One homeowners policy jumped from $1,410 to over $5,000, and quotes reached $24,000. Lambley blames decades of government inaction, despite recommendations for flood mitigation measures. Insurance Council head Andrew Hall agrees, calling for $30 billion in federal flood defenses to reduce premiums and prevent future disasters.
