Darwin Mid Suburbs Area Plan sought for comment

The Northern Territory government is seeking public comment in regards to the Darwin Mid Suburbs Area Plan.

Minister for Lands and Planning, David Tollner, said the plans aim to support future growth within the city.

“The Darwin Mid Suburbs Area Plan is an important step in providing responsible strategic plans for Darwin for the next 40 to 50 years,” Tollner said.

“The plan provides a long-term strategic framework to anticipate and manage future growth and development in the area and is focused on ensuring future land use keeps pace with the changing needs of a growing community.”

The plan includes suburbs Nightcliff, Rapid Creek, Millner, Coconut Grove, as well as areas of Ludmilla Creek.

Recommendations from the Darwin Flood Mitigation Advisory Committee have also been incorporated into the plan.

“The plan also outlines the essential infrastructure services required to manage the expected population growth over the longer term,” he said.

“In this plan we have achieved a good balance in catering for growth in vibrant, liveable activity centres around transport corridors while also protecting the tropical character currently enjoyed in the surrounding localities.”

The final stage of the plan began April 2016.
