Plans to revitalise Alice Springs city centre open for comment

The Alice Springs Town Council have released concept plans to undertake revitalisation works along the riverside of the desert town's city centre. The proposal is part of council's commitment to delivering the Regen­er­at­ing the Alice Town Cen­tre project, which aims to engage with the Alice Springs com­mu­ni­ty in order to enhance the city for the benefit of local individuals, businesses and visitors.

Fol­low­ing community feed­back, council have hit a halfway point in the design devel­op­ment proposal, which includes upgrades to Todd Mall and Todd Street, a new activated link between the mall and Hartley Street, as well as areas along Leichhardt Terrace and the Hartley Street car park. The designs for the new public playground and sporting infrastructure, art installations, bench seating, landscaping and lighting are now open for pub­lic comment.

According to the council, the next step will involve refining the proposal and preparing the project for construction.

The plans can be viewed online and are open for comment until 25 February.
