Bagot Oval Car Park Redevelopment - Completed August 2023
City of Darwin wishes to advise works to redevelop the Bagot Oval Car Park have completed and we are currently waiting for landscaping to establish.
The $1.5 million car park redevelopment has been funded under the Australian Government’s Local Roads and Community Infrastructure program. It will maximise the usage of the car park for the Darwin community, including for sports and recreation activities.
The new car park will features 244 bays, tree plantings that will provide 70 per cent canopy cover at maturity, and landscaping that will provide green screening between the car park and adjacent residencies. Allowances have been made in the design to accommodate future master plan elements, including reinforced grass overflow parking. See below design plan.
An Arboricultural Impact Assessment concluded 80 existing trees should be removed, including African Mahoganies that are in poor condition, white teaks that are a declared environmental weed, and mango trees that are not viable for retention. These trees have been replaced with shade species better suited to Darwin’s climate and conditions.
Responsible Officer: Jedda Bennett-Kellam, Senior Project Officer.
