City of Darwin is creating a plan that reflects the longer term aspirations of our community to make Darwin more liveable.  This will capture the aspects of living in Darwin that are most important to community members and reflect what you tell us about living in your own neighbourhood/suburb.

The plan will help guide our future planned work across the City of Darwin. 

City of Darwin already has strategies and plans that focus on different aspects of Darwin life, ranging from moveability, to climate, to playgrounds and smart city technologies however, there isn’t one plan that brings all of this together.

The Place and Liveability Plan will reflect which aspects of liveability are most important in our community, as we’ve heard from you.

City of Darwin has partnered with a local consultancy to create the plan but it will be primarily informed by you, as our community members. We are engaging with key stakeholders and community across the City of Darwin to make sure the plan reflects diverse views and aspirations.

There is a program of engagement from June through to August where community members will have an opportunity to contribute. Visit the main project page for details or you can contact either engage@darwin.nt.gov.au or cassandra.buckley@jacobs.com for further details.

We will be promoting the public events through our social media as details are confirmed.

Your feedback will shape the plan – we want something that reflects the people who live in our city and are seeking a diverse range of views to do achieve that. You can answer the survey or provide comments at one of the engagement events. Your insights will be considered by Council as part of developing the Place and Liveability Plan.

The input we receive during the engagement phase will also help inform any short-term trials we undertake to improve liveability during the project.

This project is expected to be complete in early 2025.

If you are an artist based in the Greater Darwin region and can meet all the criteria within the EOI, you are welcome to submit an expression of interest.

Yes, this is open to all community members. We encourage you to come along and visit the Karama Community Garden, check out the artwork and find out more about native bees and our Gardens to Wildlife program.

We need your input! We'd love as much feedback as possible from community members who have visited, or regularly use, the walkway in the Casuarina area and the park in Karama. There will be a QR code available for you to complete a short survey to provide your feedback.

City of Darwin issued an Expression of Interest seeking a local artist to participate. Ms Naomy Briston of Numus Designs was successful in that process and is creating stencils for the painting which will reflect local flora and fauna.
