City of Darwin is creating a Place and Liveability Plan

City of Darwin is creating a Place and Liveability Plan with guidance from the community!

The City of Darwin is working with local consultants, Jacobs, to develop a Place and Liveability Plan for Darwin. The plan will build on the work City of Darwin has already undertaken towards creating a safe, liveable, healthy, cool, green, clean, smart, prosperous, vibrant and creative city.

The Place and Liveability Plan will:

• Capture the unique needs, values and character of Darwin’s people and communities
• Reflect Darwin’s diversity
• Contribute to a holistic plan for how Darwin can become more liveable in the future
• Consolidate a range of innovative projects already being delivered by City of Darwin.

As part of the plan’s development , a community survey ran between 29 June and 25 August 2024, seeking community input on what makes Darwin liveable. Survey participants were asked to share their thoughts on what can be done to make Darwin more liveable into the future.

The survey closed on 25th August and the Engagement Report is available on the right of this page for viewing.

Work with City of Darwin and community consultation has identified four principles that are key across the project and important to people when they think about Darwin as a liveable city. Principles include:

• Open space and recreation
• Arts and culture
• Physical connectivity.
• Safety and security.
