Nightly curfew imposed on Maloney Buildings

WACK 90.1 FM · NEWS | Published 11 November 2026 | News synthesis

People in the Maloney Buildings Housing Development in Maloney Gardens must remain on their premises nightly from 9 PM to 5 AM, unless legally authorised or covered by a permit. Two legal notices dated 10 November establish the restriction under the Special Operations Act, 2026.

Legal Notice 847 declares the named housing development a closed area within Policing District 2. Legal Notice 848 sets the curfew hours, subject to section 14 of the Act, and provides for authorisation or a permit issued under that section. The orders specify the housing development rather than the whole Maloney community.

President Christine Carla Kangaloo signed both orders. They are subject to negative resolution of the House of Representatives. The original notices are linked below; this summary does not add unverified instructions about applying for permits.
