News: Have Your Say

The deadline for community feedback on Council's footpath and laneway policies has been extended to 31 March.

Posted: Saturday, 5 March 2016

Residents are invited to have their say on Council’s draft policy for footpaths. This policy outlines the Council’s priorities in regard to the provision and reconstruction of footpaths, identifies where footpaths are to be constructed and establishes design standards. The policy also provides guidance to Government, developers and residents on the Council’s priorities and requirements in relation to the provision of footpaths within the Council area. A copy of the policy is available from http://barkly.nt.gov.au/uploads/agendas/Agenda-Ord... (Pgs. 187-191)

Residents are also invited to have their say on Council’s draft policy for walkways and lanes. Council provides and maintains a network of essential walkways within the municipality to facilitate the movement of pedestrians and cyclists to and between public facilities. The policy addresses the requirements for new walkways and procedures for dealing with requests for closure of walkways to address anti-social behaviour, plus guidance for developers in relation to development adjacent to new or existing walkways. A copy of the policy is available from http://barkly.nt.gov.au/uploads/agendas/Agenda-Ord... (Pgs. 192-197)

Send all public submissions to ceo@barkly.nt.gov.au OR post to PO Box 821, Tennant Creek NT 0861 or hand into reception at 41 Peko Road.
Comments from the public are open until COB on Thursday, 31 March.
