Notice to dispose of Public Walkways between Halkitis Court and Sunset Drive Nightcliff (Walkway 239)

Important message

Changes to Library access and book drop

Construction of the new Civic Centre building will soon commence. The current Civic Centre carpark and nearby entrance will be closed from Monday 28 April and remain closed while works take place. The City Library will remain open and will be accessible from the Civic Centre Customer Services’ entry near Civic Park. 

Please note that the City Library returns chute will be temporarily unavailable. A new Book Drop will be installed at the Cavenagh St side of the Civic Centre soon. 

We kindly ask all customers to:

  • return items inside the Library during opening hours, or
  • use one of the 24/7 return chutes located at Casuarina, Nightcliff or Karama libraries.

We apologise for the inconvenience and thank you for your understanding.

The City of Darwin is proposing to dispose of the walkway between Halkitis Court and Sunset Drive Nightcliff (Walkway 239) following requests from adjacent residents to purchase the land. This walkway has been closed for a number of years as a result of antisocial behaviour and has been assessed not to be reopened in the future. In accordance with section 187 of the Local Government Act Council is required to consult with the community prior to seeking approval from the Minister for Local Government to dispose of the public walkway.
