Austin Lane enhancement

The NT Government, in partnership with the City of Darwin, completed works to enhance the Austin Lane streetscape with the construction of:

• two covered walkways
• tree plantings
• upgraded seating.

A new Activity Node along Austin Lane from Edmunds Street to Knuckey Street including Spain Place has also now been completed.

The Activity Node is a dedicated space to support community activities such as street parties and festivals.

To create an inviting and engaging experience for people moving through the city centre, the infrastructure enhancements include:

• decorative lighting
• improved paving
• various greening options.

The Activity Node provides:

• a linkage with the recent upgrades at the other end of Austin Lane
• spaces to capture the cooling benefit of the breezes between buildings
• support to local businesses by encouraging increased pedestrian activity.
