Draft Bagot Park Master Plan

Consultation has concluded

City of Darwin has developed a 70% completed master plan to guide the future use and management of Bagot Park.

The master plan aims to balance the recreation needs of the local area, while taking into consideration the expectations of stakeholders and community.

The master plan was informed by feedback gathered during stage one consultation which took place over five weeks in early 2022.

It proposes limiting infrastructure on the site to retain and enhance the overall environmental aspects of the park.

The master plan is based on the following guiding principles:

A park for all – providing diverse recreational use both organised sport and informal passive recreation. The park will cater for our diverse community and be easily accessible and safe.
A cool, green park – providing habitat, shading, cooling, water management and plant diversity.
A connected park – well connected to adjoining community with close integration between the different activity areas.
A well-managed park – sustainable in long term by addressing ongoing development, management and maintenance.

Key improvements proposed in the draft master plan include:

upgraded car park
football change rooms and goal storage
tree canopy and environmental buffer
shared pathway network
community recreation hub and intergenerational play/exercise
shared sporting club rooms, toilet facilities and community space.

City of Darwin values your input and wants to understand your views on the draft master plan.
