The recent weather conditions in Tennant Creek have led to multiple road closures which may cause concerns about potential food shortages.

To address this issue, Tennant Creek IGA is taking proactive measures to ensure that food supplies remain stable.

The supermarket is stocking up on essential items such as bread and milk, as well as non-perishable goods, to guarantee food security for the people of Barkly.

Additionally, alternative delivery strategies are being planned to ensure that food supply is not disrupted even if the roads are blocked for extended periods.

While there may be some delays for bush orders to stations and communities, this is beyond the control of the supermarket.

It’s reassuring to know that Tennant Creek IGA is committed to providing its customers with the necessary supplies even in challenging circumstances.
