Norfolk Island’s extraordinary natural and cultural wonders are set to be featured in a series of high-profile television programs, produced by the Western Australia based Guru Productions for their “Explore TV” series.

This exciting project has been funded under the Australian Government’s $400,000 COVID-19 stimulus package for tourism promotion on Norfolk Island, showcasing Norfolk Island as a destination of outstanding beauty and rich cultural heritage to a national audience.

Following the information evening at Governor’s Lodge on Monday 19 April, we are looking for a community organisation or representative group to conduct an ‘Expression of Ideas’ on the future of The Cooker (previously referred to as ‘The Boiler’).

The Cooker has an important place in this history of our community, as outlined by more than 70 people who attended the information evening.

An enduring partnership for the delivery of critical services for Norfolk Island – including health and education – remains a key priority for the Australian Government and we continue to work hard to develop appropriate stable and long-term service delivery arrangements to best serve the Norfolk Island community.

A Queensland Government delegation visited Norfolk Island from 27-29 April, including Minister for Education, Industrial Relations and Racing, the Hon Grace Grace and senior Queensland Government officials.

As one of Australia’s most important historical sites, the long-term management and conservation of Kingston is a key priority of the Australian Government.

Over the coming months, two critical heritage management and conservation projects at Kingston are being progressed, helping to preserve the world heritage area for residents and tourists into the long-term.

The Australian Government is committed to ensuring stable service delivery, strong regulatory frameworks and comparable rights and protections for the Norfolk Island community through long-term arrangements for provision of state-level services.
