Civic and State Square Precinct

Civic and State Square Precinct Revitalisation

The Civic and State Square Precinct Revitalisation forms part of the Darwin City Deal delivered by the Northern Territory Government in partnership with the Australian Government and the City of Darwin.

The Civic and State Square revitalisation that is being delivered by Infrastructure NT and includes:

• redeveloping Liberty Square
• completing the overall design for the Civic and State Square Precinct and developing a final plan to complete the revitalisation.

The Civic and State Square Precinct Revitalisation project will deliver a shady, cool parkland area for residents and visitors in Darwin City.

It will include a central gathering place, areas for small and large events and performances, shaded pedestrian paths, public artwork, new shade trees, seating, landscaping and water features.

Benefits of the Civic and State Square Precinct include economic, environmental, social and cultural benefits such as increased employment, cooling and greening of the city, improving local attractions for locals, tourists and students, recognising and valuing Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander culture and supporting our night time economy through safety in design.

Works already completed in the Civic and State Square Precinct under the City Deal include:

• Chan lawns – creating an open, green space following the demolition of the Chan building for the community to use for festivals, events and recreation
• State Square native garden and underground car park – creating 450 car parks for people to park underground and a native garden and pathways linking to the precinct
• redevelopment of the former 90 bay Parliamentary car park – creating public parklands and lawns to use year round for festival and community events.
