Bundilla Beach Revitalisation
Construction works for Stage 1 of the revitalisation of the Bundilla Beach area commenced on Monday 30 September 2024. During construction, pedestrian and vehicular access to the foreshore area will be restricted to ensure safety.
- Atkins Drive is now open to the traffic.
- Pedestrians will be able to access the pathways around the lagoon area and access to the beach will be via the Darwin Ski Club boat ramp during the construction period.
Please see map below indicating the area of works.
Machinery will be used during the works and some noise can be expected between the hours of 7:00am and 5:00pm. Traffic control devices will be in place and City of Darwin has made every effort to minimise impacts.
Stage 1 is the first step in transforming the area into a cool, green, natural space with enhanced recreational opportunities and an expanded beachfront leisure area. The revitalised area will feature soft and hard landscaping and pathways; additional public toilets, BBQ tables and shelters; 3 X 3 basketball court; a dog park; CCTV; and increased public lighting.
The redevelopment is leading the way in the circular economy, with minimal waste from the project going to landfill.
- Around 87 tonnes of asphalt from the old car park and 398 tonnes of concrete footpath and kerbing removed to make way for parklands has been crushed for reuse in other projects.
- All scrap metal will be recycled from the demolished toilet block which has been removed to make way for a new one in a better location.
- All spoil will be reused onsite for landscaping.
- Minimal waste means the work site has not needed a skip bin.
City of Darwin has invested $500,000, supported by a $3 million commitment from the Northern Territory Government, to develop the Bundilla Beach Master Plan and deliver the first stage of works. Extensive community and stakeholder engagement was undertaken to capture a range of views about the future use of the area.
Bundilla revitalisation project Stage-1 partial completion towards North side is complete and opened to the public. However, the full completion including remaining Southern zone, will be finished by the end of May 2025.
Thank you for your patience and consideration while we deliver this important project for the community.
Responsible Officer: Bandara Dissanayake, Senior Project Officer.
