Man charged with traffic offences in southern Tasmania

Thursday, 21 August 2025 – 4:48 pm.

Huonville Police have charged a 34-year-old man with multiple traffic offences earlier today (August 21).
About 11.20am, the man was detected travelling at 88km/h in a 50km/h zone on the main road through Franklin.
As police moved to intercept the vehicle, they observed the driver throw a full can from the driver’s side window across the road.
The vehicle was intercepted a short time later, and the man returned a breath alcohol reading of 0.058.
Further checks revealed the vehicle was not fitted with an alcohol interlock device, which was a condition of the driver’s licence due to previous offences.
The man was taken to Huonville Police Station and was subsequently charged with:

Exceeding the speed limit
Driving under the influence of alcohol
Discharging a missile (throwing an object from a vehicle)
Driving a vehicle not fitted with a required alcohol interlock device.

He has been bailed to appear in court at a later date.
Sergeant Simon Ward reminds drivers that speeding and drink driving are a deadly combination.
“When drivers ignore road rules and licence-imposed conditions, they put everyone at risk.
“Road safety is everyone’s responsibility, so please slow down and don’t drive if you’ve been drinking alcohol or consuming illicit drugs.”

Protecting the city centre against flooding

Source: Northern Territory Police and Fire Services

A major stormwater upgrade is underway in the city centre.

In brief:

  • Major stormwater upgrades are underway in the city.
  • The upgrades are part of the Light Rail Stage 2A project.
  • This work will better protect the city centre against flooding.
  • Once it is complete, construction can begin on light rail tracks and stops to Commonwealth Park.

A major stormwater upgrade is underway in the city centre. The work is part of the Light Rail Stage 2A project.

Once complete, it will help protect the city against more frequent and intense rainfall.

What’s happening behind the fences?

Teams are installing over 3 km of new high-capacity drainage pipes underground.

These are designed to handle a 1-in-100-year storm event as well as a 20% rise in rainfall intensity.

Why the upgrades?

Poorly managed stormwater can cause flash flooding. Canberra’s city centre is especially vulnerable to this.

Stormwater is rainwater that runs off hard surfaces like roads and rooftops. It then settles in soil, rivers or the ocean.

This can carry pollutants into waterways and create imbalances in natural environments.

The city centre needs sophisticated drainage systems that can cope with environmental changes over time.

Upgrading stormwater drainage now will help protect the city and Lake Burley Griffin into the future.

What else is being done?

There are also complex utility upgrades taking place on Northbourne Avenue.

These will connect the new stormwater drainage pipes – and other underground services – from London Circuit East to London Circuit West.

Once utilities and stormwater are in place, civil and services work on the track and new light rail stops can start. This will happen later this year.

What about the green track?

The green track is another feature of the light rail extension that will help protect the city against flash flooding.

On a green track, the light rail line is embedded in specially selected grass and groundcover plants instead of concrete.

A permeable surface, it will absorb rainwater, which will help ease pressure on stormwater systems.

Canberrans can now see the green track prototype on display at the National Arboretum.

All this work will have multiple benefits. It will:

  • boost water efficiency
  • make city streets greener
  • reduce flood risk
  • protect the city from extreme weather.

Where to find out more

Light Rail Stage 2A will extend the light rail system from Alinga Street to Commonwealth Park.

Charges – Death – Darwin River

Source: Northern Territory Police and Fire Services

The Northern Territory Police Force has arrested a 48-year-old man in relation to the death of a 41-year-old woman in March of last year.

On Tuesday 12 March 2024, the Joint Emergency Services Communication Centre received a report that a woman had been located unresponsive at her residence in Darwin River.

Police and St John Ambulance attended, and the 41-year-old was declared deceased at the scene.

There were no indications of suspicious circumstances at the time; however, further extensive investigations identified the victim had allegedly died as a result of poisoning.

Today, detectives from the Major Crime Squad arrested the 48-year-old male partner of the deceased, who has since been charged with Manslaughter and Fail to rescue.

He has been remanded to appear in Darwin Local Court 22 August 2025.

Detective Acting Superintendent Paul Morrissey said, “I want to commend the work of all those involved in the investigation.

“This case underscores the diligent investigative efforts undertaken by our detectives.

“We will continue to work tirelessly to ensure that offenders are brought before the courts no matter how long it takes.”

Arrest over Rokeby shooting incident

Thursday, 21 August 2025 – 4:59 pm.

Police have charged a 31-year-old man with aggravated assault after a shooting incident at Rokeby last Saturday in which a man received injuries to his arm.
Investigations by detectives from Tasmania Police South East CIB culminated in multiple searches across greater Hobart early this morning.
As a result of those searches, a 31-year-old man from Rokeby has been arrested and charged with aggravated assault and committing an unlawful act intended to cause bodily harm. He will appear before the Hobart Court of Petty Sessions on Friday.
A 34-year-old woman from Rokeby has also been arrested, and is charged with committing an unlawful act intended to cause bodily harm and has been bailed with conditions.
The charges for both people stem from an incident in Tollard Drive, Rokeby, on Saturday (August 16) about 3.30pm when a 36-year-old Rokeby man received a gunshot wound to his arm. He remains in a stable condition in Royal Hobart Hospital.
Tasmania Police would like to thank the members of the public that provided valuable information to assist investigators.
Anyone with further information can contact police on 131 444 or report anonymously to Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or online at www.crimestopperstas.com.au
