As we head into the long weekend, please make sure you’re familiar with and follow the conditions of your permit:

- Carry a valid permit when entering recreational areas
- Alcohol is not permitted on Aboriginal Freehold Land under the Aboriginal Land Rights Act
- Respect all land closures (check updates via the Anindilyakwa Permit App)

📲🌿The Anindilyakwa Land & Sea Rangers are pleased to announce the launch of our new Anindilyakwa Permit App.

This app will become the primary platform for sharing important updates, including land closures, replacing Facebook posts and website notifications for these matters.

The Anindilyakwa Permit App is designed as a convenient, all-in-one resource, offering:
- Recreational permit purchases
- Real-time land closure updates
- Biosecurity information
- Safety information
- Offline maps to support navigation while on Country
- A “Report Something” feature
- And much more

Users will also be able to receive notifications about recreational area closures and track condition updates, ensuring timely and accurate information is always available.

As this is a new system, there may be some initial teething issues. We appreciate your patience and understanding as we continue to refine and improve the app to better serve the community. We hope this change provides a more streamlined and reliable way for everyone to access the information they need.

We encourage everyone to download the app and stay informed. To get started, simply scan the QR code provided or visit your app store "Anindilyakwa Permit App".📲🌿

Attention Community Members:
We've received reports about flying foxes and bats being found deceased in our area. The Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry (DAFF) and Northern Territory Government (NTG) suggests that this may be due to environmental factors related to recent cyclone activity, rather than an infectious disease.
Important Reminders:
• Avoid Handling: If you come across any dead flying foxes or bats, please do not touch them. They can still carry diseases that may be transmitted to humans.
• Safe Removal: If you must remove a carcass, please wear gloves, double bag it, and dispose of it in a secured area where animals like dogs cannot access it.

Report Sightings: If you see any dead flying foxes or bats, please contact our Biosecurity Coordinator at 0418 678 495.

For More Information: You can learn more about the Australian bat lyssavirus and rabies from NT Health.
Thank you for your cooperation in keeping our community safe!

The BOMP program focusses on eradicating ecosystem transforming grasses that alter fire regimes and threaten the unique biodiversity of the Groote Archipelago. Please be sure to give our Rangers and Territory W**d Management (TWM) contractors a wave as they work hard to care for GEMCO Community
