Darwin City Centre Master Plan
The Executive and I have met recently with Minister Tollner along with his staff, Tim Dixon (Chief of Staff) and Racheal Curtin (Lands and Planning Adviser)
On March 9, the minister included the DCCMP in the NT Planning Scheme as background Material as opposed to pursuing an amendment into the Planning Scheme.
The inclusion of the DCCMP in the NT Planning Scheme as Background Material will allow the ideas and concepts to be made available for developers and designers when considering options for future development of land, without influencing decisions on development applications.
The Background Material of the Scheme also includes previous land use objectives, guidelines and concept plans including the Central Darwin Planning Concept Land use Objectives (1999)
The Minister advised that they are committed to working with us and that we will be consulted in the development of the guidelines.
We will continue to advocate for funding commitments to necessary projects in the Plan.
