Operation Render Safe planned for this week
A
Government of Nauru led operation supported by the Australian
Defence Force and allied nations will take place to dispose of
Explosive Remnants of War found since 2023. This activity will be
localised at Topside on Wednesday 29th and Thursday 30th of May
2024. Unlike previous Operation Render Safe missions conducted in
Nauru, there will be minimal impact to the people of Nauru outside
of Topside.
Minor
disruption to commercial and Government interests in the vicinity
of Topside will be limited to 9.00am to 12.00pm on Wednesday and
9.00am to 2.30pm on Thursday. We request people avoid Topside
during this period, particularly the area denoted by the large blue
circle (see picture map).
The Nauru
Police Force will establish a cordon area and roadblocks during the
activity periods. These are at a safe distance for the public. The
disposal site will contain the blast and fragmentation from the
operations.
We thank
you for your patience and understanding as we reduce explosive
hazards to make it safe for the public and commercial interests of
Nauru.
