Après avoir bouclé le montage financier en mai 2005, les travaux ont débuté en octobre pour le Darwin City Waterfront. Le programme, qui s'étalera sur 15 ans, s'articule autour de 3 axes majeurs : un centre de congrès et d'exposition, des équipements récréatifs et de loisirs, l'installation de commerces.

The first phase of building works has commenced on the Darwin City Waterfront with nearly 500,000 cubic metres of landfill being brought into the development site. Minister for Planning and Infrastructure Chris Burns said the landfill, which will be used to create the sea wall and a pad upon which the Darwin Convention and Exhibition Centre will be built, has been sourced from land being developed at East Arm.

Dr Burns said this provides a double win for the Territory Government. “With land at East Arm to be levelled for future sale it was appropriate for us to source this material for the Darwin City Waterfront Project as this has delivered a significant saving to the NT Government,” said Dr Burns. The pad, which will be located adjacent to where the old trams were situated at Stokes Hill Wharf, will be built upon an area which is currently mud flats. The mud will be removed from the area to provide a solid foundation for the building.

Stage 1 of the Darwin City Waterfront Project will be completed by 2008 and includes the Darwin Convention and Exhibition Centre, community leisure and recreational facilities and hotel, residential and commercial developments.
