Macca and Paul talk to Tim and Markowners of Throb, Darwin’s only gay bar/club due to structural issues.

 

The Northern Territory’s Building Control issued the order in September 2023.
Authorities identified fire and safety hazards as well as “un-authorised building works including the removal of walls,” the NT News reported.

A message on the Throb Nightclub Facebook page announced the long-running nightclub’s closure “until further notice”.

The team explained in the post the emergency order “stemmed from the removal of a supporting wall in the tenancy below ours.”

Throb owner Tim Palmer told the NT News at the time he agreed with the Building Control decision and said the hazards could have resulted in a “catastrophic” and “life-threatening” situation.
