Greening our Streets

Street Selection Criteria

The following factors will be considered when selecting streets to be part of the Greening our Streets program.

• Street is to be within Darwin or Palmerston Council area.
• Whether the street is a major access route for community facilities (eg. Marrara Sports Precinct, hospital, Casuarina Shopping Centre).
• Level of traffic using street (higher traffic levels will allow for greater exposure and enjoyment by a larger section of the community).
• Proximity of street to local public facilities (e.g. shops, schools, sporting grounds).
• Does the street have existing landscaping (priority given to streets that don't currently have amenity planting).
• Number of streets nominated in any one suburb (need a spread across suburbs and Council areas).
• Number of nominations for any one street.
