Action is needed now to increase city confidenceLatest data and retail statistics show that the Darwin City Centre is in need of some TLC.Property Council NT Director Ruth Palmer said that this is a sure sign that the Darwin City Centre needs re-energising and further investment to make it more attractive for those to live, work and play in the Top End.It is the Property Council’s view that all major cities need to be the engine rooms of a state or territory economy.”Darwin city must continue to be the primary employment and entertainment hub for the Top End,” Ms Palmer said. “The NT Government and City of Darwin’s City Centre Master Plan has made it very clear that the city must remain the primary activity centre.The Property Council have been advocating for the finalisation and implementation of the Darwin City Centre Master Plan. “We are at a critical stage of the City Centre’s development and the time is right for City of Darwin and the Northern Territory Government to commence implementation of the master plan for the CityCentre.”We need government to commit to improving the services and amenities in the city centre to give retailers, investors, developers and traders the confidence to invest; these delays create uncertainty and a lack of confidence in the business community.”Media contact: Ruth Palmer | M 04 428 314 | E [email protected]
