1 00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:02,640 Speaker 1: Joining me live in the studio is the Lord Mayor 2 00:00:02,640 --> 00:00:04,000 Speaker 1: of Darwin, combat Scarles. 3 00:00:04,240 --> 00:00:07,120 Speaker 2: Good morning, Kate. If from a beautiful Darwin. You know 4 00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:09,880 Speaker 2: Darwin is the place to visit when I start getting 5 00:00:09,920 --> 00:00:12,879 Speaker 2: visits from ambassadors from down south. I never met before 6 00:00:13,119 --> 00:00:15,760 Speaker 2: the Butsador of Mexico thirty years in Political Live. That 7 00:00:15,880 --> 00:00:17,919 Speaker 2: was the first time I met him. He came from 8 00:00:17,920 --> 00:00:20,440 Speaker 2: Canberra to Darwin and he loves it. He says here, 9 00:00:20,520 --> 00:00:23,000 Speaker 2: rather be here than in Canberra, and I can understand that. 10 00:00:23,000 --> 00:00:26,120 Speaker 1: Who wouldn't at this point in time. The weather's glorious 11 00:00:26,680 --> 00:00:29,240 Speaker 1: now conn there's lots to cover off this morning, and 12 00:00:29,280 --> 00:00:33,440 Speaker 1: I've been contacted by some retailers concerned about some work 13 00:00:33,440 --> 00:00:35,360 Speaker 1: which is set to happen as I understand it, on 14 00:00:35,479 --> 00:00:40,120 Speaker 1: Kavanagh Straight. Concerns raised with those works, apparently concrete being 15 00:00:40,200 --> 00:00:44,120 Speaker 1: ripped up and some other other tiles or something else 16 00:00:44,200 --> 00:00:46,400 Speaker 1: being laid. What exactly is the plan here? 17 00:00:46,400 --> 00:00:48,640 Speaker 2: From caucas it took plans for Kavanagh Street. One is 18 00:00:48,680 --> 00:00:50,960 Speaker 2: the media striet in front of the University of Campbus 19 00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:53,280 Speaker 2: where you want to actually put the trees there. The 20 00:00:53,360 --> 00:00:55,120 Speaker 2: other one we'll be talking for a long time. It's 21 00:00:55,160 --> 00:00:59,640 Speaker 2: because the aggregate concretely used, it's so difficult to actually 22 00:00:59,680 --> 00:01:02,160 Speaker 2: keep it clean. The moment something spills on it, it doesn't 23 00:01:02,160 --> 00:01:04,319 Speaker 2: matter what you use, it will not get rid of it. 24 00:01:04,640 --> 00:01:06,680 Speaker 2: That's why you hear a lot of people telling you, oh, 25 00:01:06,760 --> 00:01:08,959 Speaker 2: it looks really grotty. Yes, it does look grotty because 26 00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:12,760 Speaker 2: it absorbs the dirty oil. So we came up with 27 00:01:12,840 --> 00:01:17,320 Speaker 2: the plan to actually replace that aggregate with good quality pavers, 28 00:01:17,440 --> 00:01:21,840 Speaker 2: and we will eventually do it. However, it's still still 29 00:01:21,840 --> 00:01:23,640 Speaker 2: to early. We just talked to people. At the moment, 30 00:01:23,680 --> 00:01:28,160 Speaker 2: we can't count anything in plant. I believe the pavers 31 00:01:28,160 --> 00:01:30,800 Speaker 2: are still on the way here from Indonesia. We'll be 32 00:01:30,840 --> 00:01:32,959 Speaker 2: talking to them to find out the right time to 33 00:01:32,959 --> 00:01:34,800 Speaker 2: do it and how we're going to do it. They 34 00:01:34,840 --> 00:01:35,479 Speaker 2: lastly will. 35 00:01:35,440 --> 00:01:36,760 Speaker 1: It's going to say, but it is happening. 36 00:01:36,959 --> 00:01:39,080 Speaker 2: Well, it will happen because it will make the city 37 00:01:39,480 --> 00:01:42,520 Speaker 2: more more beautiful, like what you see down down in 38 00:01:42,560 --> 00:01:46,000 Speaker 2: the southern capitals, rather actually just aggregate that. 39 00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:48,559 Speaker 1: Looks well look which sounds good in theory. I guess 40 00:01:48,560 --> 00:01:50,880 Speaker 1: the concern here is, like I've been contacted by one 41 00:01:50,880 --> 00:01:54,080 Speaker 1: retailer in particular, who I'll speak to after ten this morning, 42 00:01:54,360 --> 00:01:57,240 Speaker 1: quite worried about the impact that it could have on, 43 00:01:58,040 --> 00:02:00,920 Speaker 1: you know, on their shop during the rice season when 44 00:02:01,160 --> 00:02:03,160 Speaker 1: you know you're hoping you've got a lot of papers. 45 00:02:04,160 --> 00:02:06,840 Speaker 2: The papers is not even here yet, so doubt very 46 00:02:06,880 --> 00:02:09,080 Speaker 2: much will happen in the in the dry season, and 47 00:02:09,240 --> 00:02:11,600 Speaker 2: certainly we'll be talking to the retailers about the best 48 00:02:11,600 --> 00:02:14,000 Speaker 2: time to start. We're doing it for them to make 49 00:02:14,040 --> 00:02:17,200 Speaker 2: the city pretty and beautiful and and and people to 50 00:02:17,200 --> 00:02:20,160 Speaker 2: come here and admire it rather than actually still grotty thing. 51 00:02:20,240 --> 00:02:22,600 Speaker 1: But again, so it's to be awarded and that kind 52 00:02:22,639 --> 00:02:25,560 Speaker 1: of stuff. It has a tender being awarded and that 53 00:02:25,639 --> 00:02:26,160 Speaker 1: kind of stuff. 54 00:02:26,200 --> 00:02:28,359 Speaker 2: Now we're still working through that one. We actually we're 55 00:02:28,440 --> 00:02:30,520 Speaker 2: looking at the papers we want to do the papers. 56 00:02:30,520 --> 00:02:32,560 Speaker 2: We've got the idea in place. We talked to the 57 00:02:32,600 --> 00:02:35,640 Speaker 2: retailers and we'll actually proceed later to do it. But 58 00:02:35,760 --> 00:02:39,840 Speaker 2: again but I have been ordered the pavos. The papers 59 00:02:40,240 --> 00:02:42,600 Speaker 2: well have to ahead of schedule, otherwise we don't want 60 00:02:42,600 --> 00:02:44,880 Speaker 2: to actually have different kinds of papers. You have to 61 00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:47,560 Speaker 2: order the significant it will be a trial, will happen 62 00:02:47,639 --> 00:02:50,560 Speaker 2: only in a certain area in the city. But before 63 00:02:50,560 --> 00:02:54,440 Speaker 2: we are going to actually talk to the retailers. 64 00:02:54,400 --> 00:02:55,840 Speaker 1: For this project is to be. 65 00:02:56,040 --> 00:02:58,240 Speaker 2: This project is going to be. Our project is not 66 00:02:58,280 --> 00:03:02,200 Speaker 2: like the Smith stat The previous government came out announced 67 00:03:02,200 --> 00:03:03,600 Speaker 2: it through the manner of the table, so as you 68 00:03:03,639 --> 00:03:06,200 Speaker 2: have to deliver it by then and our hands are tied. 69 00:03:06,240 --> 00:03:08,320 Speaker 2: This one is managed by us completely, I can't. So 70 00:03:08,440 --> 00:03:10,120 Speaker 2: we'll be talking to the retailers, all right. 71 00:03:10,040 --> 00:03:11,640 Speaker 1: Well, I think it's going to be a good idea 72 00:03:11,720 --> 00:03:13,840 Speaker 1: because you want to make sure that they're not impacted 73 00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:15,600 Speaker 1: in such a way that you know, like I know 74 00:03:15,720 --> 00:03:17,800 Speaker 1: on Smith Street it's been really tough for a lot 75 00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:18,760 Speaker 1: of business. 76 00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:21,560 Speaker 2: But again you've got everybody wants in Green City. But 77 00:03:21,680 --> 00:03:24,440 Speaker 2: again when we start doing it, everybody's oh, you create 78 00:03:24,520 --> 00:03:25,079 Speaker 2: these problem. 79 00:03:26,120 --> 00:03:28,959 Speaker 1: I totally understand. But if you've invested millions of dollars 80 00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:31,640 Speaker 1: into a business in the CBD and then you trying 81 00:03:31,639 --> 00:03:33,600 Speaker 1: to make sure that your business is operating, and that's 82 00:03:33,639 --> 00:03:34,040 Speaker 1: the vision. 83 00:03:34,240 --> 00:03:37,880 Speaker 2: We actually brought forward the area in Smith Street, so 84 00:03:38,200 --> 00:03:40,760 Speaker 2: the area in front of the shops will be finished 85 00:03:40,760 --> 00:03:41,000 Speaker 2: by the. 86 00:03:40,920 --> 00:03:44,520 Speaker 1: Twenty twentieth of journey for Smith Straight. All right, well, 87 00:03:45,200 --> 00:03:47,200 Speaker 1: I know it cannot come soon enough for some of 88 00:03:47,240 --> 00:03:50,040 Speaker 1: those retailers and conn We will talk some more after 89 00:03:50,120 --> 00:03:52,560 Speaker 1: ten o'clock this morning about the works on Kavanagh Street 90 00:03:52,600 --> 00:03:54,760 Speaker 1: with one of those retailers, and tell. 91 00:03:54,640 --> 00:03:56,520 Speaker 2: The retailer that certainly we'll be talking to him and 92 00:03:56,600 --> 00:03:58,280 Speaker 2: we're trying to do it in time. That's not going 93 00:03:58,320 --> 00:04:00,640 Speaker 2: to cause problems for the retailer. 94 00:04:01,240 --> 00:04:04,120 Speaker 1: Now, let's have a look about or have a talk 95 00:04:04,120 --> 00:04:06,920 Speaker 1: about what you guys are doing with the libraries. So 96 00:04:07,040 --> 00:04:10,360 Speaker 1: the City of Darwin is inviting library users and members 97 00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:14,200 Speaker 1: of the community to provide feedback on those libraries, including 98 00:04:14,440 --> 00:04:19,520 Speaker 1: services provided, library facilities and the operating hours, a survey 99 00:04:19,640 --> 00:04:21,839 Speaker 1: under what's the time of the serve exactly. 100 00:04:21,960 --> 00:04:25,360 Speaker 2: Well, we've got four libraries in Cadorina, Dawen City, Karama, Nightcliff, 101 00:04:25,400 --> 00:04:27,680 Speaker 2: and believe it or not, we get about four hundred 102 00:04:27,720 --> 00:04:30,880 Speaker 2: thousand visits every year in these libraries and we have 103 00:04:30,920 --> 00:04:33,840 Speaker 2: a collection of eighty thousand items, and we've got thirty 104 00:04:33,839 --> 00:04:37,240 Speaker 2: seven thousand people that actually participate in activities from little 105 00:04:37,520 --> 00:04:41,000 Speaker 2: two year olds to ninety two year olds. And certainly 106 00:04:41,080 --> 00:04:43,560 Speaker 2: we want to find out is these service will provide 107 00:04:43,560 --> 00:04:46,080 Speaker 2: the best one? Can we do it better? Do people 108 00:04:46,120 --> 00:04:49,479 Speaker 2: want something different? How can we accommodate to the hours 109 00:04:49,480 --> 00:04:51,760 Speaker 2: of operation? Are shooting them some people that want to 110 00:04:51,760 --> 00:04:54,159 Speaker 2: come elis and people won't come late. So you've got 111 00:04:54,200 --> 00:04:57,800 Speaker 2: an opportunity until the twenty second of June, yes of June, 112 00:04:57,880 --> 00:05:00,880 Speaker 2: to have as you say, would love your input. And 113 00:05:00,920 --> 00:05:03,640 Speaker 2: please don't say, oh well somebody else will comment. Please 114 00:05:03,680 --> 00:05:06,600 Speaker 2: comment yourself. It doesn't take long because if other people 115 00:05:06,600 --> 00:05:08,279 Speaker 2: comment then you don't get what you want. Then you 116 00:05:08,320 --> 00:05:12,080 Speaker 2: can't complain because you didn't do your bit. So I 117 00:05:12,200 --> 00:05:14,800 Speaker 2: encourage it. I think it's important to actually do it. 118 00:05:15,200 --> 00:05:18,360 Speaker 1: Have your sigh now, Colin, I understand the councils also 119 00:05:18,400 --> 00:05:20,720 Speaker 1: doing a trial of pool hating at the casualt or 120 00:05:20,720 --> 00:05:22,560 Speaker 1: a Quodic center. How did this come about? 121 00:05:22,640 --> 00:05:25,960 Speaker 2: Well, we had complaints from people that they're using the 122 00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:28,240 Speaker 2: pool and says, look, it's too cold now, and certainly 123 00:05:28,360 --> 00:05:30,480 Speaker 2: we had a couple of days that was really really cold. 124 00:05:30,920 --> 00:05:34,760 Speaker 2: It's fifty yes, and we decided, well, we'll give it 125 00:05:34,800 --> 00:05:36,400 Speaker 2: a go. So we set up the therm and start 126 00:05:36,440 --> 00:05:39,240 Speaker 2: on twenty eight degrees and we're putting the hitter on. 127 00:05:39,560 --> 00:05:41,640 Speaker 2: See how it goes, see what the response will be, 128 00:05:41,920 --> 00:05:43,719 Speaker 2: and depending on the results of the trial, then we 129 00:05:43,920 --> 00:05:44,880 Speaker 2: try to if we're going to work. 130 00:05:44,920 --> 00:05:46,960 Speaker 1: So if you already got all the infrastructure applies to it. 131 00:05:47,040 --> 00:05:49,760 Speaker 2: Always in place. The thing you have to remember it 132 00:05:49,800 --> 00:05:52,160 Speaker 2: is the cost to run it. That's right, and that's important. 133 00:05:52,200 --> 00:05:54,760 Speaker 2: Now the other thing is interesting. Perhaps he has to 134 00:05:54,760 --> 00:05:56,760 Speaker 2: be hitted because he has to comply with the National 135 00:05:56,800 --> 00:05:59,839 Speaker 2: body regulations. But nightly, if it's not hited at all, 136 00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:02,880 Speaker 2: it will never get complaints. Yep, But we've got one area, 137 00:06:03,200 --> 00:06:06,080 Speaker 2: especially when it's used by young children, so we decided 138 00:06:06,120 --> 00:06:06,360 Speaker 2: to buy. 139 00:06:06,760 --> 00:06:09,479 Speaker 1: Particularly. Yeah, like if you're teaching learn to swim or 140 00:06:09,480 --> 00:06:11,960 Speaker 1: anything like that, or have those young kids doing classes, 141 00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:14,880 Speaker 1: it gets freezing. As someone who has who spent my 142 00:06:15,040 --> 00:06:18,839 Speaker 1: whole teenage life teaching learned to swim and coaching swimming, honestly, 143 00:06:18,839 --> 00:06:20,800 Speaker 1: if you're in the pool for a couple of hours, 144 00:06:21,160 --> 00:06:23,960 Speaker 1: it can be it can be unbearable by the end. 145 00:06:24,320 --> 00:06:26,400 Speaker 2: You know. It's interesting. I think we've been here for 146 00:06:26,440 --> 00:06:28,279 Speaker 2: too long and we're unaccustomed to the. 147 00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:30,919 Speaker 1: And in saying that, though, if you're doing laps, you 148 00:06:30,960 --> 00:06:33,520 Speaker 1: actually don't want to be too warm if you're in 149 00:06:33,560 --> 00:06:35,840 Speaker 1: there doing a couple of kilometers, So it's an interesting one. 150 00:06:35,839 --> 00:06:37,640 Speaker 1: I think the surveys required. 151 00:06:37,680 --> 00:06:40,320 Speaker 2: In the pool I'm currently used because of I have 152 00:06:40,400 --> 00:06:43,640 Speaker 2: to keep my knees moving. They are tourists swimming in it, 153 00:06:43,760 --> 00:06:45,839 Speaker 2: and they don't but an eyelid and I'm going in. 154 00:06:45,880 --> 00:06:49,480 Speaker 2: I thought, oh my god, there's difference people. 155 00:06:49,279 --> 00:06:51,640 Speaker 1: Where they come from exactly. Hey, conn, I've got to 156 00:06:51,720 --> 00:06:54,839 Speaker 1: listen a question. There's one here from a family that says, Hi, Katie. 157 00:06:54,960 --> 00:06:58,080 Speaker 1: I'm writing to express my frustration and disappointment regarding an 158 00:06:58,080 --> 00:07:01,960 Speaker 1: incident that occurred a fortnight ago Kara oval during junior 159 00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:05,159 Speaker 1: soccer on a Sunday morning. Families were gathered to support 160 00:07:05,200 --> 00:07:09,360 Speaker 1: their children, creating a positive, community driven atmosphere. Unfortunately, this 161 00:07:09,520 --> 00:07:14,040 Speaker 1: was significantly dampened by the council Parking inspectors issuing fines 162 00:07:14,040 --> 00:07:16,880 Speaker 1: to vehicles parked on the grass area surrounding the oval. 163 00:07:17,160 --> 00:07:20,840 Speaker 1: While I understand the importance of parking regulations, it's important 164 00:07:20,920 --> 00:07:24,920 Speaker 1: to note there was a genuine lack of available parking options. 165 00:07:25,240 --> 00:07:29,120 Speaker 1: The cars were parked sensibly. No one was obstructing driveways, 166 00:07:29,200 --> 00:07:35,280 Speaker 1: footpaths or parked near yellow lines corn. It's not a 167 00:07:35,360 --> 00:07:36,280 Speaker 1: nice thing to do. 168 00:07:36,440 --> 00:07:39,880 Speaker 2: This is a probinable face in every sports levels. Now 169 00:07:42,360 --> 00:07:49,680 Speaker 2: like idiot, we've got the lock neighbors complete bitterly about churning. 170 00:07:49,360 --> 00:07:51,600 Speaker 1: The Yeah, but they don't live on the oval. 171 00:07:52,720 --> 00:07:54,800 Speaker 2: Yes, but you know what happens in Darwin, you're on 172 00:07:54,880 --> 00:07:57,160 Speaker 2: the oval, you actually live over But probably we've got this. 173 00:07:57,560 --> 00:08:01,440 Speaker 2: It is against the regulations and the nice road rules 174 00:08:01,480 --> 00:08:02,480 Speaker 2: to park on vergens. 175 00:08:02,760 --> 00:08:07,000 Speaker 1: Surely if neighbors are complaining, then surely them parking on 176 00:08:07,040 --> 00:08:08,320 Speaker 1: the grass would be a better thing. 177 00:08:08,560 --> 00:08:11,320 Speaker 2: There are roads to actually park. The other thing, of course, 178 00:08:11,360 --> 00:08:14,440 Speaker 2: the pick bodies should actually think how they organize their 179 00:08:14,480 --> 00:08:17,720 Speaker 2: competition instead of having everybody there at the same time. 180 00:08:17,840 --> 00:08:20,920 Speaker 1: You get they train like they're training most days. The 181 00:08:20,960 --> 00:08:23,920 Speaker 1: ovals literally being utilized by people nearly every day. You've 182 00:08:23,920 --> 00:08:26,200 Speaker 1: got to schedule games and junior games or need to 183 00:08:26,200 --> 00:08:28,520 Speaker 1: be scheduled for on like they're already doing them on 184 00:08:28,560 --> 00:08:29,080 Speaker 1: a Friday, and. 185 00:08:29,240 --> 00:08:33,960 Speaker 2: Sunder unfortunately in most ovels, and we have really beside 186 00:08:33,960 --> 00:08:36,160 Speaker 2: ourselves with the complaints will receive and also with the 187 00:08:36,240 --> 00:08:39,040 Speaker 2: damage done in a reticulation and in graphs and everything else. 188 00:08:39,080 --> 00:08:43,240 Speaker 2: Now I know you can't win because in certain areas 189 00:08:43,280 --> 00:08:46,360 Speaker 2: we've got pig we extended parking like a baggot. We've 190 00:08:46,400 --> 00:08:48,880 Speaker 2: done it really well. We're doing the same. It's good 191 00:08:48,920 --> 00:08:51,760 Speaker 2: now do now in my luck. We're extending the because 192 00:08:51,800 --> 00:08:55,000 Speaker 2: of the new playground, we're extending the car park. Eventually 193 00:08:55,000 --> 00:08:57,240 Speaker 2: we extend other car packs. But you have to remember 194 00:08:57,280 --> 00:08:59,800 Speaker 2: when these ovals were built, nobody expected. 195 00:08:59,440 --> 00:09:02,600 Speaker 1: To what you do now in a place. Because actually, 196 00:09:02,720 --> 00:09:05,400 Speaker 1: I think that's to say that the that the government, 197 00:09:05,600 --> 00:09:07,800 Speaker 1: that the sporting body needs to change what they're doing. 198 00:09:07,840 --> 00:09:09,760 Speaker 1: I'm sorry, Connor, I think that's bullshit to say that 199 00:09:09,800 --> 00:09:11,839 Speaker 1: they need to change the way that they should. You guys, 200 00:09:11,960 --> 00:09:14,240 Speaker 1: because you're talking about kids crying the problem. 201 00:09:14,920 --> 00:09:18,920 Speaker 2: Pig bodies organize the games quite right too. Then you've 202 00:09:18,920 --> 00:09:21,040 Speaker 2: got all the people turning up at the same time, 203 00:09:21,120 --> 00:09:24,080 Speaker 2: and neighbors called ferrol because they say they can't fire park. 204 00:09:24,320 --> 00:09:26,600 Speaker 1: But what would they rather than those games? Kids playing 205 00:09:26,600 --> 00:09:27,880 Speaker 1: at two o'clock in the afternoon. 206 00:09:27,960 --> 00:09:29,880 Speaker 2: The solution, Kate and come to me because I've. 207 00:09:29,840 --> 00:09:31,160 Speaker 1: Got a part on the grass. 208 00:09:31,200 --> 00:09:34,240 Speaker 2: But I said before, it's it's a different way to 209 00:09:34,320 --> 00:09:37,040 Speaker 2: organize things, and that's why we engage in now putting 210 00:09:37,120 --> 00:09:40,040 Speaker 2: lights in all of us to spread out the operational times. Right, 211 00:09:40,440 --> 00:09:42,800 Speaker 2: the country is doing their bit, not fast enough because 212 00:09:42,840 --> 00:09:44,400 Speaker 2: we haven't got the money to do it all at once. 213 00:09:44,720 --> 00:09:49,079 Speaker 2: But again before and are not very very well.
