Civic and State Square Precinct revitalisation
Located in the heart of the Darwin CBD, State Square, is undergoing a significant revitalisation process which includes redeveloping Liberty Square.
The revitalisation project is delivering a shady, cool parkland area for residents and visitors in Darwin city.
It will include a central gathering place, areas for small and large events and performances, shaded pedestrian paths, public artwork, new shade trees, seating, landscaping and water features.
Benefits of the State Square Precinct include economic, environmental, social and cultural benefits such as increased employment, cooling and greening of the city, improving local attractions for locals, tourists and students, recognising and valuing Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander culture and supporting our night-time economy through safety in design.
