The Northern Territory Government is investing $20 million to reinvigorate and create a safer and more vibrant Alice Springs CBD for locals and visitors to enjoy. Through this investment, $15 million has been allocated for CBD revitalisation projects, and $5 million towards the Breaking the Cycle of Crime plan. The Alice Springs Town Council has endorsed the designs and identified $2.2 million to support the CBD Revitalisation project.
Overall, there are four packages of works that have been tendered separately and spread over the next two financial years (2020/21 and 2021/22). The project will support more than 70 local jobs during the construction phase.
The second phase of the Alice Springs CBD Revitalisation plan includes a Kwatja (Water) Play Space and a Car Parking Review.
The river activation zone is now complete.
