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.

Jingili Water Gardens New Footbridge 

The Jingili Water Gardens Footbridge is no longer safe for public use and is closing 31 March 2025 following the expiry of its safety certification. The footbridge must be replaced to ensure continued access and public safety for our active community. Signage is in place to keep visitors informed about the closure and upcoming works. 

A brand-new footbridge is on the way. Designed for durability, the footbridge will be built to withstand monsoonal rain and king tides. The upgraded footbridge will also be wider, providing a shared access path and gentle slope to enhance accessibility for all users. Construction is expected to begin soon, with works to be completed later in the dry season (weather permitting). 

We understand that the footbridge is an important part of connectivity and recreation in Jingili Water Gardens. City of Darwin is committed to keeping the community informed as this important upgrade progresses. 

Thank you for your patience as we work to deliver a safer, more accessible footbridge.
