Welcome to what will be Barneson Boulevard.
A direct link to Tiger Brennan Drive into the heart of our city.
This major project, jointly funded by the Australian and Northern Territory Governments and the City of Darwin.
Delivers on the Northern Territory Governments vision to create a vibrant, cool and walkable city centre.
Barneson Boulevard will link Tiger Brennan Drive to Cavenagh Street reducing pressure on other arterial roads
and providing commuters with another option to enter and exit the city by dispersing existing traffic and reducing congestion.
For the first time there will be a dedicated path for cyclists, separated from pedestrians and vehicles.
More than 200 hundred trees will line the fully landscaped Boulevard.
In fact for every tree removed during construction there will be four new large shady trees planted.
Community consultation is now open and we want you to have your say on the species of flora you would like to see planted.
Raintrees and Flametrees could feature among a mixture of native and tropical plant species that will grow to become a shaded boulevard creating an iconic urban street scape.
the landscaping will also improve the amenity of the area and could include a small amphitheatre for local arts groups
to encourage more visitors to Frog Hollow Park.
Importantly the heritage boundaries of Frog Hollow Park will be protected as will the historical significance of the Old Darwin Primary School.
