A Darwin fly-in, fly-out (FIFO) workers' camp risks losing its liquor licence if bad behaviour such as public defecation continues, management has warned.

The company in charge of the Ichthys LNG project workers village delivered a notice to residents warning that a failure to abide by the village code of conduct signed by all residents would result in alcohol restrictions or even a completely "dry village".

Located in Darwin's rural area and managed by construction contractor JKC, the Maningurr-Ma workers camp was built to house 3,500 FIFO construction workers for the nearby Inpex-operated gas project.

Recently there has been an "escalation" in "noise, behaviour and site access" issues such as abuse of village staff and residents falling asleep in public areas while drunk, according to the notice signed by village manager Damien Gallecher last month.

The note warned residents of an escalation in such things as "defecation in public places" and "possession of fireworks".

In the note, Mr Gallecher said the behaviour had resulted in eight residents being kicked out of the village.

He warned the village could lose its liquor licence.

"The liquor licence for the village will come under scrutiny from the NT Liquor Licensing Board, resulting in a dry village," the note read.

They work hard and play hard: former resident

But banning alcohol consumption would be an "unfair" punishment for a majority of residents, according to Helen Jackson, who used to work at the village.

"They let their hair down on the weekends, but they're usually pretty good," she said.

"They work hard, they need to come home like everybody else, have a couple of drinks, relax and then go off to bed.

"Just because one or two blokes are misbehaving, the whole camp shouldn't have to suffer.

"They should just pick those guys out and get rid of them."

JKC project director John Bramley said in a statement there was "zero tolerance" for anti-social behaviour at the village.

Mr Bramley said the village was designed to provide a "safe, comfortable, home-away-from-home" for FIFO construction workers.

"All employees take part in extensive induction training and all village residents must adhere to a strict code of conduct - which they must sign as a binding agreement at the time of their employment," he said.

"Any resident contravening the code of conduct will be disciplined and could face termination of employment.

"JKC holds as its highest priority the safety and wellbeing of its workforce and we do not apologise for setting high standards and expecting them to be met."
