Building gets underway at Kilgariff

Adam Giles
Chief Minister of the Northern Territory

Chief Minister Adam Giles has turned the first sod on the first new home to be built at Alice Springs’ newest suburb of Kilgariff.

“I’m proud to have the honour of seeing construction begin at Kilgariff, which will eventually host more 3,000 new homes for the people of Alice Springs,” Mr Giles said.

"This is a big day for Alice Spring and I look forward to seeing the suburb turn into a hive of activity over the coming weeks as more new residents start building their new homes.”

The Land Development Corporation has now delivered 33 affordable residential lots in Stage 1A of Kilgariff at a cost of $3.8 million for the head works and $3.7 million for the civil construction.

“The Giles Government is delivering on its promise of new residential land release, faster than ever before, to meet the growing demand for new homes right across the Territory including Alice Springs,” Mr Giles said.

Local builder Jack Page of Exact NT is thrilled to be breaking new ground at Kilgariff for his clients and future residents Michael Andrews and Alannah Thain, who have purchased a lot in the brand new estate. 

“We are excited to buy a block in Kilgariff, it is our opportunity to buy a new home,” Mr Andrews said.

Kilgariff is a master-planned suburb and will include a village centre, sports oval, natural open space, parks and cycle paths.

“Interest in Stage 1A was so great that residential lots in Kilgariff Stage 1B are now on the market,” Mr Giles said.

“Blocks are affordably priced between $160,000 and $180,000 making them a great deal for home buyers.

“This project is another big stimulus to the local Alice Springs construction industry and is among a range of new government developments that are boosting the local economy.”
