Local Area Traffic Management and Liveability Project – Koolinda Crescent, Karama

City of Darwin wishes to advise that we will be upgrading Koolinda Crescent, Karama and its surrounding area. The objective of the upgrade is to enhance road safety for all road users and improve the liveability of the area. We would also like to invite the community to co-design the improvements.

To reduce vehicle speeds and safety along Koolinda Crescent, the project proposes:

• Painting parking lanes along Koolinda Crescent
• Three pedestrian refuges located near the Karama Shopping Centre site, Robyn Lesley Park, and the Koolinda Crescent/Mueller Street intersection
• Reconstruction of the children’s crossing and footpath
• Widening the road intersection at Koolinda crescent/ Kalymnos Drive

We want to hear from residents and stakeholders on how we can improve the liveability of the area, guided by the four principles identified in the Place and Liveability Plan:

• Safety and security
• Open space and recreation
• Physical connectivity
• Art and culture

Please see the image below for the survey area.

You can use the online survey Neighbourhood Streets and Places Tool to complete the liveability assessment and share your ideas to help design the area. Alternatively, you may provide your feedback by telephone on 08 8930 0300. 

This project aligns with City of Darwin’s Place and Liveability Plan, Economic Development Strategy, Movement Strategy, Greening Darwin Strategy, and Climate Emergency Strategy.
