There will be increased military helicopter flying activities in the Darwin area and Northern Territory between 18 and 26 February, 2026.

The training will be conducted during the day and night.

Noise disturbances will be minimised where possible and Defence thanks the public for their patience and cooperation while this essential training is being conducted.

Defence takes its responsibility to the public seriously, but acknowledges there are numerous challenges in conducting military activities that are in close proximity to residential suburbs. We are committed to minimise the inconvenience to the local community.
