About the project
City of Darwin will be upgrading Chambers Crescent, Malak and its surrounding area. Our objective make this area safer for all road users and improve the liveability of the area. We would also like to invite the community to co-design the improvements.

To reduce vehicle speeds and improve safety along Chambers Crescent, the project proposes:

  • Paint parking lanes along Chambers Crescent
  • Two speed humps in the vicinity of the Chambers Crescent and Kapool Crescent intersection
  • Two pedestrian refuges near the Malak Shopping Centre site and the Holzerland Green Belt

Community feedback collected between Monday 9 February and Sunday 8 March 2026 will help us determine the liveability improvements included in the project.

What are “liveability improvements”?

Liveability improvements are features we add to projects to help make neighbourhoods safer, easier to get around and more enjoyable to spend time in.

When we spoke with the community when developing the Place and Liveability Plan 2050, people told us that safety and security, physical connectivity, open space and recreation, and art and culture are important elements making areas better places to live.

We’re using this feedback to guide how the area is being designed, and the community will continue to help shape the final outcome. Liveability elements may include things like better footpaths, more shading and seating, safer road crossings, traffic calming measures, improved accessibility, or other features like spaces for art and community use that enhance day‑to‑day use of public spaces.

Our goal

Instead of using the same design everywhere, City of Darwin is taking a local, neighborhood-based approach.

That means listening to the people who live, work and spend time here, and designing improvements that reflect how the area is actually used, now and into the future.

Have your say

The final liveability features will be shaped by community feedback.

If you live nearby, run a business, use the park, or travel through the area, we’d love to hear from you.

You can get involved by:

  • Completing the online survey
  • Taking part in the kids’ art competition
  • Sharing your ideas about what would make the area safer and more enjoyable

The engagement period runs from: Monday 9 February to Sunday 8 March 2026

Your feedback will help guide what improvements are included in the final design.

Have your say


What we’re asking about

We’re especially keen to hear your thoughts on ideas related to:

  • Safety and security
  • Open space and recreation
  • Getting around (walking, cycling, driving)
  • Art and culture

Please check the map below to see the survey area.

They are designed to reflect the character, values and everyday needs of each local area, ensuring projects support how people live, move and connect within their neighbourhood.
