Calls to move Katherine Hospital after back-to-back flood evacuations

After Katherine's worst flood in 28 years, residents are calling for governments to act on a decades-old idea to relocate the NT town's hospital away from the flood-prone river. The hospital has been evacuated multiple times in recent years, causing significant disruption to healthcare services and emergency response efforts. Local leaders argue that the current location is no longer sustainable given the increasing frequency and severity of flood events, necessitating a permanent move to higher ground to ensure regional health security.
