1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:02,280
Speaker 1: Joining me in the studio right now, the Lord Mayor

2
00:00:02,279 --> 00:00:03,880
Speaker 1: of daw And convat Scarlus.

3
00:00:03,880 --> 00:00:06,520
Speaker 2: Good morning, Katie, and before you start asking me questions,

4
00:00:06,559 --> 00:00:09,600
Speaker 2: let me give you an answer. Last week we had

5
00:00:09,600 --> 00:00:14,720
Speaker 2: somebody who ran from down a court and the crumbling

6
00:00:14,840 --> 00:00:17,360
Speaker 2: roads and about the footpath. I have to say that

7
00:00:17,360 --> 00:00:20,040
Speaker 2: our team now is visiting the area to find out

8
00:00:20,079 --> 00:00:22,120
Speaker 2: the condition of the roads, to see if the road

9
00:00:22,160 --> 00:00:25,079
Speaker 2: is crumbling and if it needs repair. With regards to

10
00:00:25,120 --> 00:00:30,120
Speaker 2: the footpath, we've got a program for footpath. Yes, the

11
00:00:30,160 --> 00:00:33,400
Speaker 2: current program for twenty two three is fully committed, so

12
00:00:33,800 --> 00:00:35,519
Speaker 2: we have to go to the new program and the

13
00:00:35,560 --> 00:00:37,959
Speaker 2: new budget, and certainly we're going to have a look

14
00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:40,839
Speaker 2: at it, find out how many people it serves and

15
00:00:41,040 --> 00:00:43,680
Speaker 2: if it's critical, and if it is, it will include

16
00:00:43,720 --> 00:00:48,040
Speaker 2: the new program. However, if people want to actually safely

17
00:00:48,080 --> 00:00:50,879
Speaker 2: cross Garrimella Boulevard, they can use the Tiger Brean Gonzales

18
00:00:50,960 --> 00:00:54,560
Speaker 2: Road in the intersection. There are science there and they

19
00:00:54,560 --> 00:00:55,080
Speaker 2: can cross it.

20
00:00:55,120 --> 00:00:58,160
Speaker 3: But again but it's further up then it's a bit act.

21
00:00:58,880 --> 00:01:01,520
Speaker 2: There's no way I can do all their foot path

22
00:01:02,480 --> 00:01:05,280
Speaker 2: once we programmed them. Yeah, and certainly we look at it.

23
00:01:05,319 --> 00:01:07,560
Speaker 1: But so it's more so if you're like, it's fair

24
00:01:07,640 --> 00:01:10,679
Speaker 1: enough if you're going up into the city on Tiger

25
00:01:10,720 --> 00:01:13,600
Speaker 1: Brennan and you're all Gurrimella Boulevard. But it's it's if

26
00:01:13,640 --> 00:01:16,479
Speaker 1: you're actually going in towards like the Stuart Park area

27
00:01:16,560 --> 00:01:17,600
Speaker 1: and you.

28
00:01:17,440 --> 00:01:19,680
Speaker 3: Can't like that it's around that corner area.

29
00:01:19,720 --> 00:01:22,000
Speaker 1: I know because I went there myself for a ride

30
00:01:22,120 --> 00:01:24,080
Speaker 1: with my son and I was not going to let

31
00:01:24,120 --> 00:01:26,360
Speaker 1: him right up around that corner because it was dangerous.

32
00:01:26,360 --> 00:01:28,919
Speaker 2: Because it's dangerous and I don't forget a very high

33
00:01:28,920 --> 00:01:31,800
Speaker 2: speed road. You don't want anybody to cross the road

34
00:01:31,800 --> 00:01:33,520
Speaker 2: to try to go on the other side. So my

35
00:01:33,640 --> 00:01:36,520
Speaker 2: strong advice is use the traffic lights. I know it

36
00:01:36,600 --> 00:01:38,399
Speaker 2: might be a bit feather up, no.

37
00:01:38,319 --> 00:01:40,319
Speaker 1: I know. But then once like if you live in

38
00:01:40,360 --> 00:01:44,440
Speaker 1: the estate, there's actually you know, it's it's not City Valley.

39
00:01:44,440 --> 00:01:45,800
Speaker 1: I can't think of the name of it right now,

40
00:01:45,800 --> 00:01:48,680
Speaker 1: but it's like the Stuart Parker State. You actually like

41
00:01:49,200 --> 00:01:51,440
Speaker 1: you're not like you're talking about going up that part

42
00:01:51,480 --> 00:01:53,840
Speaker 1: of the road, so you're not talking about crossing Guramilla

43
00:01:54,080 --> 00:01:55,920
Speaker 1: because once you get across there, there's not a footpath

44
00:01:55,960 --> 00:01:56,880
Speaker 1: anyway to go up there.

45
00:01:57,120 --> 00:01:59,160
Speaker 2: But I said to you before it would be include

46
00:01:59,200 --> 00:02:01,480
Speaker 2: the program, but in this year's program, because twenty to

47
00:02:01,560 --> 00:02:04,320
Speaker 2: twenty three is fully committed. We already programmed it, but

48
00:02:04,480 --> 00:02:07,440
Speaker 2: certainly might We'll be looking at it and find out

49
00:02:07,480 --> 00:02:10,480
Speaker 2: and advice council accordingly what we have to do and

50
00:02:10,520 --> 00:02:12,680
Speaker 2: if it's something very urgent and they come to me

51
00:02:12,720 --> 00:02:14,639
Speaker 2: it says it has to be done. Certainly comes from

52
00:02:14,680 --> 00:02:16,720
Speaker 2: find a way to actually bring it forward.

53
00:02:16,760 --> 00:02:18,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, because it's around there near the quarry area.

54
00:02:18,919 --> 00:02:21,239
Speaker 1: I think you know you know where I mean, like

55
00:02:21,400 --> 00:02:23,400
Speaker 1: up there a bit further so it's sort of you know,

56
00:02:23,440 --> 00:02:25,240
Speaker 1: if you're going up that way, you're not going up

57
00:02:25,600 --> 00:02:29,160
Speaker 1: Gara Miller. It's it's going in different directions. So, and

58
00:02:29,200 --> 00:02:31,080
Speaker 1: there are a lot of young families that live in

59
00:02:31,080 --> 00:02:33,560
Speaker 1: that area. I know a large number of them, you

60
00:02:33,560 --> 00:02:35,399
Speaker 1: know that that are in that area, And I guess

61
00:02:35,400 --> 00:02:36,799
Speaker 1: it's about making sure the safe.

62
00:02:36,919 --> 00:02:39,160
Speaker 2: Currently we've got a lot of requests for footpath. So

63
00:02:39,240 --> 00:02:41,239
Speaker 2: we've got requests on the other side of the road

64
00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:45,440
Speaker 2: that comes from Stuart Park towas Carmela, opposite the one

65
00:02:45,480 --> 00:02:49,360
Speaker 2: mile camp camp. We've got requests about Warner so a

66
00:02:49,360 --> 00:02:51,359
Speaker 2: lot of people asking for that one but yeuys, I'm sorry.

67
00:02:51,400 --> 00:02:53,280
Speaker 2: I can't do everything at once. It has to be

68
00:02:53,320 --> 00:02:54,480
Speaker 2: programmed and will happen.

69
00:02:54,560 --> 00:02:56,320
Speaker 3: But you have got a team going out that happen.

70
00:02:56,320 --> 00:02:57,880
Speaker 3: Are going to have a look at the road and

71
00:02:57,880 --> 00:02:58,480
Speaker 3: they will come back.

72
00:02:58,560 --> 00:02:58,760
Speaker 1: Yeah.

73
00:02:58,760 --> 00:02:59,480
Speaker 3: Perfect, Let us know.

74
00:02:59,480 --> 00:03:03,040
Speaker 1: I keep us now Coln like Alexander, we know that

75
00:03:03,080 --> 00:03:04,800
Speaker 1: it's been closed due to the water quality.

76
00:03:04,840 --> 00:03:06,160
Speaker 3: How are things tracking along there?

77
00:03:06,560 --> 00:03:10,239
Speaker 2: It's unfortunately when we have a heavy rain event, Lake

78
00:03:10,240 --> 00:03:13,720
Speaker 2: Alexander gets water and gets contaminated because they sentiments stirred.

79
00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:16,480
Speaker 2: We find out it was a high We do regularly tests,

80
00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:19,480
Speaker 2: we find out a high bacterial load, so we close

81
00:03:19,520 --> 00:03:22,600
Speaker 2: the shop. We don't put people's life in danger. We're

82
00:03:22,600 --> 00:03:26,200
Speaker 2: flashing it with the fresh sea water and in a

83
00:03:26,240 --> 00:03:28,360
Speaker 2: couple of days or three days, it will be completely

84
00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:30,440
Speaker 2: flashed and will open it again. Keep an eye on

85
00:03:30,480 --> 00:03:33,720
Speaker 2: our Facebook page, on our website and you find out

86
00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:37,200
Speaker 2: when exactly it's open. I'm not going to risk your

87
00:03:37,400 --> 00:03:40,880
Speaker 2: life or your health. Just keep it open. I'm sorry

88
00:03:40,880 --> 00:03:43,360
Speaker 2: it happens. This is down when it happens everywhere. We've

89
00:03:43,360 --> 00:03:44,480
Speaker 2: got these kind of events.

90
00:03:44,680 --> 00:03:46,480
Speaker 1: I did get told yesterday, we did get a message

91
00:03:46,520 --> 00:03:48,720
Speaker 1: from a listener siying tidie. There's somebody in there swimming.

92
00:03:48,760 --> 00:03:50,520
Speaker 1: There's two people in there swimming at the moment. Will

93
00:03:50,600 --> 00:03:51,200
Speaker 1: I can crook?

94
00:03:51,960 --> 00:03:52,440
Speaker 3: I don't know.

95
00:03:52,920 --> 00:03:55,040
Speaker 2: And that's why we don't take the risk. The problem

96
00:03:55,040 --> 00:03:58,040
Speaker 2: means they know it's closed. If they swim, that means

97
00:03:58,040 --> 00:04:00,000
Speaker 2: they take their own risk. They can't blame they can't

98
00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:02,200
Speaker 2: for that one, because everybody knows it's closed. It was

99
00:04:02,240 --> 00:04:04,280
Speaker 2: in the newspaper, it was the news, it was your program,

100
00:04:04,440 --> 00:04:07,920
Speaker 2: it was on television. Everybody knows about it. It's son posted.

101
00:04:08,360 --> 00:04:11,440
Speaker 2: So don't well, don't do it.

102
00:04:11,600 --> 00:04:13,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, well that's the thing. It's closed for a reason.

103
00:04:13,960 --> 00:04:16,040
Speaker 3: That's right. You know it's not closed because I just

104
00:04:16,040 --> 00:04:17,520
Speaker 3: felt like, yeah, that's exactly right.

105
00:04:17,560 --> 00:04:20,479
Speaker 1: So just do avoid it, and and yeah, take care,

106
00:04:20,640 --> 00:04:22,400
Speaker 1: maybe head off to one of the swimming pools. Although

107
00:04:22,440 --> 00:04:25,880
Speaker 1: I know Nightcliff was closed yesterday, will for maintenance. But

108
00:04:26,200 --> 00:04:27,120
Speaker 1: is it back open today?

109
00:04:27,160 --> 00:04:29,000
Speaker 2: You will be open when the men's frontalage. We have

110
00:04:29,080 --> 00:04:30,960
Speaker 2: to actually meant it is like your car you have

111
00:04:30,960 --> 00:04:32,520
Speaker 2: to put for service, you catch a taxi.

112
00:04:32,560 --> 00:04:35,120
Speaker 3: Oh, absolutely, just the same thing without its frastructure.

113
00:04:35,240 --> 00:04:37,240
Speaker 1: I grew up my father was a swimming coach con

114
00:04:37,279 --> 00:04:38,560
Speaker 1: so I know that you've got to make sure that

115
00:04:38,600 --> 00:04:40,360
Speaker 1: you go after those pools. You've got to make sure

116
00:04:40,400 --> 00:04:43,520
Speaker 1: that you know that the levels that everything's working correctly

117
00:04:44,720 --> 00:04:45,320
Speaker 1: in their backyard.

118
00:04:45,360 --> 00:04:46,839
Speaker 2: Knows very well if you want to have a safe

119
00:04:46,839 --> 00:04:48,919
Speaker 2: swimming pool, you have to look after it and maintain.

120
00:04:48,839 --> 00:04:50,200
Speaker 3: You certainly do now.

121
00:04:50,279 --> 00:04:52,560
Speaker 1: Con we had a bit of a discussion yesterday with

122
00:04:52,960 --> 00:04:56,200
Speaker 1: Keyesier Puric, the Member for Goida, about the Northern Territory

123
00:04:56,880 --> 00:05:00,480
Speaker 1: Library which is based at Parliament House now. She questioned

124
00:05:00,480 --> 00:05:03,800
Speaker 1: in parliament last week why it's moving now. Apparently the

125
00:05:03,839 --> 00:05:05,279
Speaker 1: word on the street is that it's going to be

126
00:05:05,320 --> 00:05:08,640
Speaker 1: moving to the Charles Darwin UNI campus when it opens,

127
00:05:08,640 --> 00:05:09,960
Speaker 1: which is still a little while away.

128
00:05:10,480 --> 00:05:11,840
Speaker 3: Is this anything to do with council?

129
00:05:12,160 --> 00:05:14,440
Speaker 2: Nothing to do with Council's government. It was part of

130
00:05:14,480 --> 00:05:18,320
Speaker 2: the city deal. When the new university campus is finished,

131
00:05:18,640 --> 00:05:22,400
Speaker 2: then there was an idea to move the library, the

132
00:05:22,560 --> 00:05:25,240
Speaker 2: reference library, from the Panama House there. It's not a

133
00:05:25,240 --> 00:05:26,960
Speaker 2: council issue, that's a Territory government.

134
00:05:26,760 --> 00:05:27,240
Speaker 3: Issue, Mika.

135
00:05:27,279 --> 00:05:29,159
Speaker 1: I will follow it up with the Northern Territory Government,

136
00:05:29,520 --> 00:05:31,680
Speaker 1: but nothing to do with the Council at this point

137
00:05:31,680 --> 00:05:32,160
Speaker 1: in time.

138
00:05:32,600 --> 00:05:34,680
Speaker 3: Con, what else has been happening? I know that.

139
00:05:35,080 --> 00:05:37,720
Speaker 1: You know, we are continually obviously talking about issues with

140
00:05:38,080 --> 00:05:41,839
Speaker 1: crime and anti social behavior, but what are different problem.

141
00:05:41,839 --> 00:05:43,599
Speaker 2: I've got a problem with one of the trees at

142
00:05:43,640 --> 00:05:46,120
Speaker 2: the mall. We find out that the tree is not

143
00:05:46,160 --> 00:05:48,920
Speaker 2: in a very good health. We find out actually the

144
00:05:49,120 --> 00:05:52,480
Speaker 2: root ball has really not performing very well and there

145
00:05:52,520 --> 00:05:54,599
Speaker 2: is a danger for the tree to fall down. Which

146
00:05:54,640 --> 00:05:56,720
Speaker 2: tree problem is the tree is very close to the

147
00:05:56,839 --> 00:06:00,000
Speaker 2: playground and if it falls down it will do damage

148
00:06:00,440 --> 00:06:03,240
Speaker 2: and I don't want any kids help to be at risk.

149
00:06:03,720 --> 00:06:05,800
Speaker 2: So we made a hard decision. We have to cut

150
00:06:05,839 --> 00:06:07,600
Speaker 2: it down. We're going to cut it down. It's a

151
00:06:07,680 --> 00:06:11,599
Speaker 2: yellow flame tree near the children's play area. We're going

152
00:06:11,600 --> 00:06:14,520
Speaker 2: to remove it very soon. But not to worry about.

153
00:06:14,560 --> 00:06:16,479
Speaker 2: We're going to replant another tree in the area to

154
00:06:16,560 --> 00:06:20,280
Speaker 2: replace one for one. But as again, I don't want

155
00:06:20,320 --> 00:06:22,760
Speaker 2: to be in the front page of the news if

156
00:06:22,800 --> 00:06:23,720
Speaker 2: something cause seriously.

157
00:06:23,720 --> 00:06:25,600
Speaker 1: Oh absolutely, but also you want to make sure that

158
00:06:25,680 --> 00:06:28,039
Speaker 1: those kids are safe. So it's the one that's just

159
00:06:28,160 --> 00:06:32,160
Speaker 1: right there near the children's playground and it's leaning. How

160
00:06:32,200 --> 00:06:33,440
Speaker 1: long is it going to take to cut down? And

161
00:06:33,440 --> 00:06:34,080
Speaker 1: Wednesday can do.

00:06:34,080 --> 00:06:37,839
Speaker 2: It after hours when the all is out. It won't

163
00:06:37,880 --> 00:06:40,600
Speaker 2: take long one overnight will just disappear. But they say,

164
00:06:41,240 --> 00:06:44,280
Speaker 2: as I'm driving here, my crew is out there in

165
00:06:44,320 --> 00:06:47,880
Speaker 2: the try in the daily street cleaning up the beautiful

166
00:06:48,480 --> 00:06:52,160
Speaker 2: landscape area to make sure that the plants got place

167
00:06:52,240 --> 00:06:54,960
Speaker 2: to grow and grow beautifully. And what I was speaking

168
00:06:55,000 --> 00:06:59,240
Speaker 2: now people are in Goider Road completely digging it out

169
00:06:59,600 --> 00:07:03,160
Speaker 2: in stuff, in reticulation and everything else, because that's going

170
00:07:03,240 --> 00:07:06,240
Speaker 2: to be exactly the street with a number of beautiful

171
00:07:06,440 --> 00:07:08,159
Speaker 2: flowering trees and undergrowth.

172
00:07:08,200 --> 00:07:09,840
Speaker 3: When will it be finished a right?

173
00:07:09,960 --> 00:07:12,760
Speaker 2: We expect to finish in about six weeks, okay, depending

174
00:07:12,800 --> 00:07:14,920
Speaker 2: on the weather everything and Downwe depends.

175
00:07:14,720 --> 00:07:17,120
Speaker 3: On the web absolutely, especially this time of the year. Hey,

176
00:07:17,160 --> 00:07:19,080
Speaker 3: just with that playground so and with.

177
00:07:19,080 --> 00:07:22,240
Speaker 1: The tree that's there, is it is the playground still

178
00:07:22,240 --> 00:07:22,920
Speaker 1: open at the moment?

179
00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:23,360
Speaker 3: Is there a.

180
00:07:24,960 --> 00:07:27,880
Speaker 2: Danger? But it can be endangered, especially because it was

181
00:07:27,920 --> 00:07:30,640
Speaker 2: built in a raised bed and that doesn't work very

182
00:07:30,680 --> 00:07:33,080
Speaker 2: well with trees. And the other thing is if there's

183
00:07:33,080 --> 00:07:36,400
Speaker 2: a big weather event and the soil becomes soft, usually

184
00:07:36,440 --> 00:07:38,960
Speaker 2: trees fall off when the soil is soft because of

185
00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:41,040
Speaker 2: the rain and then a wind comes and we've seen

186
00:07:41,080 --> 00:07:42,560
Speaker 2: that one in many occasions here and.

187
00:07:42,560 --> 00:07:44,960
Speaker 1: Now, So how quickly do you anticipate that that work

188
00:07:44,960 --> 00:07:47,640
Speaker 1: will happen to take it down and the next.

189
00:07:47,400 --> 00:07:50,160
Speaker 3: Few days coupla dation. We will do it all right,

190
00:07:50,200 --> 00:07:53,000
Speaker 3: no worries. Well, convat scarlets. I've just got one very

191
00:07:53,040 --> 00:07:53,560
Speaker 3: quick question.

192
00:07:53,680 --> 00:07:56,600
Speaker 1: Paul wants me to ask you what can be done

193
00:07:56,640 --> 00:08:00,320
Speaker 1: about large items left on the footpath in the northern suburbs,

194
00:08:00,320 --> 00:08:03,560
Speaker 1: saying the cyclone cleanup has well and truly finished. He

195
00:08:03,720 --> 00:08:07,040
Speaker 1: is aware obviously that it's finished. Maybe his neighbors aren't,

196
00:08:07,440 --> 00:08:08,520
Speaker 1: Paul ring.

197
00:08:08,440 --> 00:08:10,840
Speaker 2: But let us know what it is our rangers brotabile

198
00:08:10,840 --> 00:08:12,000
Speaker 2: A Division to tell them to take them to the

199
00:08:12,040 --> 00:08:14,600
Speaker 2: tip themselves, and if they don't broughably these you're fine.

200
00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:18,040
Speaker 2: As you said correctly, the cycling cleanup he has now

201
00:08:18,080 --> 00:08:21,360
Speaker 2: finished and people should take the responsibility of their own items.

202
00:08:21,480 --> 00:08:23,400
Speaker 2: Don't expect somebody else to do it for you. The

203
00:08:23,480 --> 00:08:25,720
Speaker 2: tip is free, you can take it there well.

204
00:08:25,760 --> 00:08:27,680
Speaker 1: But also there was a whole period of time where

205
00:08:27,680 --> 00:08:29,440
Speaker 1: you could actually do that and the council was coming

206
00:08:29,440 --> 00:08:31,560
Speaker 1: to collect it. So that service is finished. So you

207
00:08:31,600 --> 00:08:33,200
Speaker 1: are going to have to take it to the troption.

208
00:08:33,360 --> 00:08:35,640
Speaker 2: Is it a good item? Somebody will brought the nikki tonight,

209
00:08:35,840 --> 00:08:37,200
Speaker 2: so there wuldn't be anything left to do.

210
00:08:38,640 --> 00:08:39,640
Speaker 3: For a while. Probably not.

211
00:08:40,320 --> 00:08:43,200
Speaker 1: Just let us know, Convat scarlis the Lord Mayor of Darwin.
