But little else.
It was no surprise today's Budget offered little more for Katherine, or indeed the Territory, in the way of the big spending days of the past.
Search the Budget documents using the key word 'Katherine", and it only registers a handful of times.
The supposed big ticket items, money on art galleries, Nitmiluk walking trails, or even the still stunning $30 million for the Katherine agribusiness and logistics hub at the rail station have all been announced before.
The town has a new fire station which is soon to officially open, a new ambulance station, both of which incorporated some money from previous good times, and floods.
The $8 million for flood mitigation is still from the TIO sale and, given the big flood was 20 years ago now, seems to be waiting on the Never Never.
As we understand it, money has been banked for the sportsgrounds, CBD and showground upgrades. Plus of course the Hot Springs but everyone in town knows where that is at.
The $500,000 the Government wants to claw back from teacher rental subsidies is not itemised, at least that we can find.
The Budget documents do say: The Department of Education promises to "support schools to effectively attract, retain and manage staff to meet the needs of their students and school community".
The department also is projecting a large fall in the number of students in the NT, it doesn't say why.
What we do get from this Budget is a collective interest bill on our government's whopping $6 billion loans of about $1500 apiece - something we can all share.
Katherine still has the almost billion dollar upgrade at the Tindal RAAF Base guaranteed, so we hope those local businesses who may miss any public infrastructure spending locally can break through with LendLease.
What the Budget also does not say is when we consider the promised freeze on wages of our parliamentarians and top bureaucrats we need to know, the MPS already got their rise early in the year.
But back to those dog kennels.
Treasury might be full of moths, but it has a natty interactive map you can find detail on local spending.
Apparently there is $250,000 set aside for a "dog operation unit" compound refurbishment near the police station, new digs for the much valued drug sniffer dogs.
Many people will question the loss of some teacher subsidies in contrast to dog kennels.
Also there's $100,000 to refurbish the reception centre at the Government Centre.
And $300,000 for the Mataranka school.
No plans to move the hospital away from the river, or a truck bypass for the town but a roof over the cattle pens at the research farm has got the nod.
There are some public safety items we are trying to learn more about like Back on Track, for young criminals, or the Katherine Youth Services Program.
The promised money for three public housing officers is there, and more liquor inspectors for our bottle shops.
And nothing in there to fast track the town's water treatment plant, so restrictions continue.
Search the Budget documents for 'PFAS' and you'll come up dry.
