1 00:00:00,360 --> 00:00:03,320 Speaker 1: Now we know that there has been I guess you'd 2 00:00:03,320 --> 00:00:07,840 Speaker 1: say a bit of discussion about the development at Lee Point, 3 00:00:07,880 --> 00:00:10,479 Speaker 1: and we know that quite a few people turned up 4 00:00:10,480 --> 00:00:15,520 Speaker 1: apparently to councils meeting overnight to watch Darwin Council pass 5 00:00:15,560 --> 00:00:19,520 Speaker 1: emotion urging the Northern Territory government to freeze the development 6 00:00:20,000 --> 00:00:22,640 Speaker 1: at Lee Point. Now joining me in the studio right 7 00:00:22,680 --> 00:00:26,360 Speaker 1: now is the one person who actually does want to 8 00:00:26,400 --> 00:00:29,720 Speaker 1: see this development still continue ahead, and that is the 9 00:00:29,760 --> 00:00:31,600 Speaker 1: Lord Mayor of Darwin convat Scarlets. 10 00:00:31,640 --> 00:00:32,560 Speaker 2: Good morning to Yukon. 11 00:00:32,800 --> 00:00:35,200 Speaker 3: Good morning Katie. The issue is not about me want 12 00:00:35,200 --> 00:00:37,600 Speaker 3: to see the development going ahead. The issue is that 13 00:00:37,640 --> 00:00:40,960 Speaker 3: the development is going ahead because it's been done by 14 00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:45,760 Speaker 3: the DHA, has been assessed by the Federal Environmental Protection Authority, 15 00:00:46,159 --> 00:00:50,320 Speaker 3: has been assessed by the Anti Development Consent Authority, and 16 00:00:50,520 --> 00:00:52,800 Speaker 3: just last week the Chief Minister said is going to 17 00:00:52,800 --> 00:00:55,360 Speaker 3: go ahead and the minis they're responsible for that process 18 00:00:55,400 --> 00:00:55,800 Speaker 3: is going. 19 00:00:55,640 --> 00:00:56,200 Speaker 4: To go ahead. 20 00:00:56,280 --> 00:00:58,400 Speaker 1: Well, on that note, let's take a listen to what 21 00:00:58,520 --> 00:01:01,080 Speaker 1: Eva Laula told us on the show last week in 22 00:01:01,120 --> 00:01:04,080 Speaker 1: relation to Lee Point being a done deal. 23 00:01:04,720 --> 00:01:07,160 Speaker 5: Yeah, it is actually too far gone. First of all, 24 00:01:07,319 --> 00:01:10,840 Speaker 5: this development has followed all the right processes through the 25 00:01:10,920 --> 00:01:14,800 Speaker 5: planning decisions were made many years ago in the DCA 26 00:01:15,080 --> 00:01:18,400 Speaker 5: was involved. It has been through the independent EPA and 27 00:01:18,440 --> 00:01:22,120 Speaker 5: it has also been through the Federal EPBC, so it 28 00:01:22,160 --> 00:01:24,920 Speaker 5: has gone through all of those processes. As a minister, 29 00:01:25,080 --> 00:01:28,160 Speaker 5: I am not going to start overturning decisions that are 30 00:01:28,160 --> 00:01:31,880 Speaker 5: being made by independent statute boards. Otherwise we will have 31 00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:33,560 Speaker 5: chaos in the Northern territory. 32 00:01:33,959 --> 00:01:37,040 Speaker 2: Con does that? Is that good enough? Do you think? 33 00:01:37,120 --> 00:01:39,480 Speaker 1: And or do we need to actually take another look 34 00:01:39,480 --> 00:01:40,280 Speaker 1: at this development. 35 00:01:41,800 --> 00:01:44,520 Speaker 3: The ministers have made it clear it's been assessed by 36 00:01:44,600 --> 00:01:48,200 Speaker 3: independent statue authorities. Now can you imagine if every minister 37 00:01:48,640 --> 00:01:51,880 Speaker 3: overturns every decision made by dependent statuy authority? 38 00:01:51,960 --> 00:01:52,600 Speaker 4: What will happen? 39 00:01:52,640 --> 00:01:55,240 Speaker 3: The same people complain about the point today, we'll complain 40 00:01:55,320 --> 00:01:58,240 Speaker 3: for everything else. Now let's go back to the history 41 00:01:58,520 --> 00:02:01,480 Speaker 3: that first came to Dow on twenty four the proponent 42 00:02:02,160 --> 00:02:04,520 Speaker 3: Rebecca de Rowe, It was the seconder in the motion 43 00:02:04,640 --> 00:02:06,960 Speaker 3: to accept it. It was accepted. It came back in 44 00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:10,000 Speaker 3: twenty fifteen, it was accepted. It came back in twenty 45 00:02:10,040 --> 00:02:12,720 Speaker 3: eighteen for a change of the plan. It was accepted 46 00:02:12,720 --> 00:02:16,520 Speaker 3: by council and just as late as July, we were 47 00:02:16,560 --> 00:02:19,200 Speaker 3: actually discussing the name of the parks on the streets. 48 00:02:19,720 --> 00:02:22,800 Speaker 3: Nobody raised an issue. Then about the point, all of 49 00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:25,640 Speaker 3: a sudden become an issue, asking now to stop the 50 00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:27,519 Speaker 3: development and create a master plan. 51 00:02:27,919 --> 00:02:29,760 Speaker 4: Let me give you a heart. What are you sign? 52 00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:33,400 Speaker 1: Do you think that the other alderman hadn't read those papers? 53 00:02:33,440 --> 00:02:36,000 Speaker 1: Do you think that they didn't understand or do you 54 00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:38,200 Speaker 1: think that I've listened to the community. 55 00:02:37,680 --> 00:02:39,560 Speaker 4: Now well about the papers? 56 00:02:39,600 --> 00:02:41,160 Speaker 3: You might have to ask them because we've got a 57 00:02:41,160 --> 00:02:43,760 Speaker 3: situations where all the might come in make decisions and 58 00:02:43,800 --> 00:02:45,880 Speaker 3: then oh I didn't know what I was voting for, 59 00:02:45,919 --> 00:02:48,840 Speaker 3: which is really bad. Now listen to the community. Which 60 00:02:48,880 --> 00:02:51,200 Speaker 3: community listen? You can choose to listen parts of the 61 00:02:51,200 --> 00:02:52,959 Speaker 3: community or the community. 62 00:02:53,240 --> 00:02:53,440 Speaker 4: Now. 63 00:02:53,760 --> 00:02:59,080 Speaker 3: My point, sorry, my opponent opposition to the point is 64 00:02:59,400 --> 00:03:01,440 Speaker 3: the density of the developed the small blocks. 65 00:03:01,440 --> 00:03:04,240 Speaker 4: And I've said made clear time after time. 66 00:03:04,720 --> 00:03:07,919 Speaker 3: But yesterday I sat there and watch all my fellow 67 00:03:07,919 --> 00:03:11,880 Speaker 3: oldermen coming out and giving reason why they've voted for it, 68 00:03:11,919 --> 00:03:14,840 Speaker 3: and I thought, doesn't anybody has a spine stand up 69 00:03:14,880 --> 00:03:17,840 Speaker 3: and says, guys, we discussed that one for seven years. 70 00:03:17,880 --> 00:03:20,240 Speaker 3: We accept it all along, all of a sudden now 71 00:03:20,919 --> 00:03:24,400 Speaker 3: we are opposing it, and on what grounds? Because you 72 00:03:24,520 --> 00:03:26,800 Speaker 3: change your mind, that's not a valid ground. I would 73 00:03:26,840 --> 00:03:30,239 Speaker 3: have an issue if EPA came express concerns, then I'll 74 00:03:30,240 --> 00:03:32,120 Speaker 3: be behind it that says, yes, we have to go back, 75 00:03:32,400 --> 00:03:33,720 Speaker 3: but there isn't any issues. 76 00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:36,600 Speaker 1: Well, I would assume that you know the reasons that 77 00:03:36,640 --> 00:03:38,720 Speaker 1: the old women have said. And I know I've spoken 78 00:03:38,720 --> 00:03:40,480 Speaker 1: to Justin and Glover on the show a little while 79 00:03:40,520 --> 00:03:42,680 Speaker 1: back and she had said that obviously it's the environment 80 00:03:43,320 --> 00:03:46,040 Speaker 1: that there is also concern from a lot of the 81 00:03:46,080 --> 00:03:46,840 Speaker 1: residents that. 82 00:03:46,920 --> 00:03:47,920 Speaker 2: Live in that area. 83 00:03:48,720 --> 00:03:51,040 Speaker 1: What would you say to those people that are worried 84 00:03:51,280 --> 00:03:53,440 Speaker 1: that live in that area and they are worried about 85 00:03:53,560 --> 00:03:54,960 Speaker 1: the impact that this is going to have. 86 00:03:55,360 --> 00:03:58,360 Speaker 3: Well, there's a letter of the newspaper today that's very 87 00:03:58,400 --> 00:04:01,600 Speaker 3: clearly outlined some of the issues about the residents living 88 00:04:01,600 --> 00:04:04,160 Speaker 3: in the area, raigeteries, living in lions and near here. 89 00:04:04,160 --> 00:04:07,680 Speaker 3: That was defense Housing Authority cleared up from not neat 90 00:04:07,800 --> 00:04:09,320 Speaker 3: vegetation to heather houses. 91 00:04:09,960 --> 00:04:11,280 Speaker 4: That happened everywhere in Darwin. 92 00:04:11,640 --> 00:04:14,000 Speaker 3: But again, I'm not the one who says, yes, I'm 93 00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:17,559 Speaker 3: supporting the development. What I'm saying is it's the wrong 94 00:04:17,720 --> 00:04:20,200 Speaker 3: time it. We should have done that one if we 95 00:04:20,240 --> 00:04:23,760 Speaker 3: had to do it in twenty fourteen, twenty fifteen before 96 00:04:23,920 --> 00:04:27,719 Speaker 3: and during the assessment process by EPA and DCA. When 97 00:04:27,760 --> 00:04:30,000 Speaker 3: you develop in the territory, you have to put the 98 00:04:30,080 --> 00:04:32,800 Speaker 3: pink signs out there so everybody knows going to be development. 99 00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:36,359 Speaker 3: Where were all these people that came yesterday, one hundred 100 00:04:36,360 --> 00:04:38,080 Speaker 3: and ten of them? Where the one hundred and ten 101 00:04:38,120 --> 00:04:41,680 Speaker 3: submissions against LEEPOINT There was seventeen submissions against it, or 102 00:04:41,720 --> 00:04:44,039 Speaker 3: not all of them against, there were seventeen submissions. And 103 00:04:44,080 --> 00:04:46,279 Speaker 3: that's what I'm saying is do we really want to 104 00:04:46,320 --> 00:04:49,120 Speaker 3: fight the fight we already know it's lost and present 105 00:04:49,240 --> 00:04:52,479 Speaker 3: ourselves as antidevelopment an orderback. I went to great lengths 106 00:04:52,520 --> 00:04:54,599 Speaker 3: to say it's not under development, but trying to stop 107 00:04:54,600 --> 00:04:56,920 Speaker 3: a development now, that's what it is. 108 00:04:56,960 --> 00:04:59,520 Speaker 4: It's aunted development. It doesn't matter how many excuses you make. 109 00:05:00,279 --> 00:05:01,599 Speaker 2: What is going to happen now? 110 00:05:01,640 --> 00:05:04,440 Speaker 1: Because it seems as though, based on what the Minister 111 00:05:04,560 --> 00:05:06,840 Speaker 1: Evil Lawler had said to us on the show last week, 112 00:05:06,920 --> 00:05:09,559 Speaker 1: it's a done deal. It's going a hit. So what's 113 00:05:09,600 --> 00:05:12,960 Speaker 1: going to happen now? What does this vote last night 114 00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:14,920 Speaker 1: by council actually. 115 00:05:14,600 --> 00:05:18,400 Speaker 3: Mean to put it bluntly, people voted for Rebecca's motion 116 00:05:18,480 --> 00:05:20,760 Speaker 3: because they knew very well nothing's going to change. 117 00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:22,680 Speaker 4: So it's very easy to be brave when you know 118 00:05:22,760 --> 00:05:24,200 Speaker 4: something is going to change. All right. 119 00:05:24,400 --> 00:05:26,839 Speaker 3: The reality is it doesn't matter what Rebecca said or 120 00:05:26,880 --> 00:05:29,680 Speaker 3: just think Glover or to all the other eleven councilors, 121 00:05:29,680 --> 00:05:33,400 Speaker 3: because Mick Palmer was not there, it was away. Nothing 122 00:05:33,480 --> 00:05:36,040 Speaker 3: is going to change. And that's why I vote against it, 123 00:05:36,080 --> 00:05:38,600 Speaker 3: because nothing is going to change. And let me make 124 00:05:38,640 --> 00:05:41,320 Speaker 3: it clear, this is my personal opinion. I haven't received 125 00:05:41,320 --> 00:05:45,440 Speaker 3: any pressure from Ivalola or my gun for the same reason. 126 00:05:45,520 --> 00:05:49,200 Speaker 3: We're too small to oppose this development because already been approved, 127 00:05:49,480 --> 00:05:53,920 Speaker 3: been assessed, is been ticked by statute authorities. Council has 128 00:05:53,960 --> 00:05:58,480 Speaker 3: only an opinion on that process, not the final award 129 00:05:59,040 --> 00:06:02,480 Speaker 3: that developed men unfortunately has been approved. 130 00:06:02,720 --> 00:06:05,200 Speaker 4: Council missed the boat. All these bavigous they. 131 00:06:05,160 --> 00:06:07,440 Speaker 3: Were demonstrating that should he have act in twenty fourteen, 132 00:06:07,480 --> 00:06:09,840 Speaker 3: twenty fifteen or twenty sixteen, they didn't. 133 00:06:10,040 --> 00:06:12,839 Speaker 4: It's a lesson we have to learn be early. 134 00:06:13,240 --> 00:06:17,200 Speaker 3: Put your proposals or position or submissions early when things 135 00:06:17,480 --> 00:06:20,239 Speaker 3: about to happen, not at the end of the process. 136 00:06:20,279 --> 00:06:23,280 Speaker 2: You're early in the process. Now would you still go 137 00:06:23,320 --> 00:06:25,320 Speaker 2: down this pathcorn I will actually. 138 00:06:25,120 --> 00:06:27,719 Speaker 3: Ask for the development to be relooked, not to be 139 00:06:27,800 --> 00:06:29,680 Speaker 3: so dense, and the blocks of land not to be 140 00:06:29,720 --> 00:06:31,320 Speaker 3: so small and more green space. 141 00:06:32,120 --> 00:06:34,560 Speaker 4: Now it's already decided. 142 00:06:34,600 --> 00:06:37,200 Speaker 1: But I mean, really do we need to actually like 143 00:06:37,279 --> 00:06:41,640 Speaker 1: the reality of this is there isn't huge parcels of 144 00:06:41,720 --> 00:06:44,159 Speaker 1: land around Darwin right now that can be developed that 145 00:06:44,240 --> 00:06:46,719 Speaker 1: people can actually you know, for young people wanting to 146 00:06:46,720 --> 00:06:47,600 Speaker 1: buy a block of land. 147 00:06:48,040 --> 00:06:50,040 Speaker 3: Another a lot of young people listening to you today 148 00:06:50,320 --> 00:06:51,960 Speaker 3: if they want to buy a block of land. Guys, 149 00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:54,680 Speaker 3: you got buck list. The next releass you Collie will 150 00:06:54,680 --> 00:06:57,839 Speaker 3: be in twenty twenty two Christmas. That what I hear 151 00:06:57,880 --> 00:07:00,000 Speaker 3: from the industry. All the blocks in you are here 152 00:07:00,240 --> 00:07:02,600 Speaker 3: now have been sold. A one hundred blocks were put 153 00:07:02,640 --> 00:07:05,600 Speaker 3: out for the new development North New York Head recently 154 00:07:05,839 --> 00:07:07,600 Speaker 3: were snapped in a matter of hours. 155 00:07:07,720 --> 00:07:09,000 Speaker 4: So there is demand for land. 156 00:07:09,320 --> 00:07:12,200 Speaker 3: And again I guess that we heard stories like if 157 00:07:12,200 --> 00:07:15,360 Speaker 3: we do Lipoint would be urban sprawl. What do you 158 00:07:15,360 --> 00:07:18,080 Speaker 3: think is Rucoli We had yesterday that if we developed, 159 00:07:18,360 --> 00:07:21,320 Speaker 3: if the ear lip Point is developed, they turtle not 160 00:07:21,440 --> 00:07:24,160 Speaker 3: lay eggs. The development is two kilometers from the coastline 161 00:07:24,200 --> 00:07:26,640 Speaker 3: house that's going to be affected. Were also heard by 162 00:07:26,640 --> 00:07:30,400 Speaker 3: some people that that told us that President Akia people. However, 163 00:07:30,800 --> 00:07:32,960 Speaker 3: today the Latakia nation tell me that they are speaking 164 00:07:32,960 --> 00:07:35,440 Speaker 3: for themselves, not Akia nation that told us that's going 165 00:07:35,480 --> 00:07:36,920 Speaker 3: to affect Old Man Rock. 166 00:07:37,440 --> 00:07:38,960 Speaker 4: Well, I've been down with thirty years. 167 00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:42,320 Speaker 3: I always knew Old Monrock was actually off the Casarina coastline, 168 00:07:42,600 --> 00:07:43,320 Speaker 3: not a lip point. 169 00:07:43,920 --> 00:07:45,160 Speaker 4: You know. If you want to make a case, you 170 00:07:45,240 --> 00:07:46,400 Speaker 4: put all the stories here. 171 00:07:46,560 --> 00:07:49,200 Speaker 1: Presumably though this has all gone through like I would 172 00:07:49,200 --> 00:07:52,520 Speaker 1: have thought, there's this all had to go through. I 173 00:07:52,600 --> 00:07:55,240 Speaker 1: can't think of what the actual authority is called, but 174 00:07:55,280 --> 00:07:58,880 Speaker 1: the aboriginal you know, a sacred size authority in that 175 00:07:58,960 --> 00:07:59,920 Speaker 1: kind of thing already. 176 00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:03,480 Speaker 4: That's what said. It's been through all the processes you 177 00:08:03,520 --> 00:08:04,200 Speaker 4: know in past. 178 00:08:04,680 --> 00:08:07,240 Speaker 3: Now we want actually to go back and undo it, 179 00:08:07,600 --> 00:08:10,600 Speaker 3: which is it creates a situation where nobody is going 180 00:08:10,600 --> 00:08:13,200 Speaker 3: to actually do anything in the territory because there's no certainly. 181 00:08:13,520 --> 00:08:17,280 Speaker 3: But again I said, I voted against it because I 182 00:08:17,320 --> 00:08:19,360 Speaker 3: know it's not going to change. It doesn't matter what 183 00:08:19,400 --> 00:08:21,840 Speaker 3: I want, what you want, what Rebecca wants. This is 184 00:08:21,840 --> 00:08:24,200 Speaker 3: going to go ahead because it's been already done. 185 00:08:24,440 --> 00:08:26,280 Speaker 4: Not a done deal. It's not a deal. 186 00:08:26,560 --> 00:08:30,600 Speaker 3: It followed a certain process and jumped all the hurdles. 187 00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:32,920 Speaker 1: Well, I'll tell you what it is. Something there. I 188 00:08:32,960 --> 00:08:35,600 Speaker 1: know some people are quite concerned about. Others, though, are 189 00:08:35,600 --> 00:08:37,560 Speaker 1: worried about plenty of other things. I've got a couple 190 00:08:37,600 --> 00:08:40,480 Speaker 1: of messages over the course of the weekend corn people 191 00:08:40,520 --> 00:08:45,000 Speaker 1: worried and quite frankly annoyed that the council rangers were 192 00:08:45,120 --> 00:08:50,880 Speaker 1: booking people at the pro markets on Saturday. Should we 193 00:08:50,920 --> 00:08:52,600 Speaker 1: be doing this or should we just be letting people 194 00:08:52,720 --> 00:08:53,920 Speaker 1: enjoy their time at the markets? 195 00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:57,280 Speaker 4: Well, we should let people enjoy the time at the market. 196 00:08:57,320 --> 00:08:59,439 Speaker 3: But the people actually do something wrong there should know 197 00:08:59,480 --> 00:09:01,480 Speaker 3: that other people they want to park where they parked. 198 00:09:01,720 --> 00:09:04,240 Speaker 3: If the parking indicator says park for fifteen minutes or 199 00:09:04,240 --> 00:09:07,200 Speaker 3: two hours, that's the time limit. Because we decided you 200 00:09:07,240 --> 00:09:09,360 Speaker 3: want to stay for four hours, somebody else is going 201 00:09:09,400 --> 00:09:12,320 Speaker 3: to miss out the arranges. Do not do anything else 202 00:09:12,559 --> 00:09:15,520 Speaker 3: but applying to the legislation as it stands, you can 203 00:09:15,920 --> 00:09:18,640 Speaker 3: park in a disabled parking spot. I don't care if 204 00:09:18,679 --> 00:09:20,680 Speaker 3: you want to enjoy the markets or not. This is 205 00:09:20,720 --> 00:09:23,640 Speaker 3: a no no. If it says fifteen minutes, stay fifteen minutes. 206 00:09:23,679 --> 00:09:25,959 Speaker 3: If you say to ours, stay two hours. If you 207 00:09:26,040 --> 00:09:28,839 Speaker 3: double park, you're going to be booked. Just follow the rules. 208 00:09:28,840 --> 00:09:32,280 Speaker 3: I mean, it's not rules for one person and nothing 209 00:09:32,280 --> 00:09:34,600 Speaker 3: for the other. If you want to enjoy the markets, 210 00:09:34,600 --> 00:09:36,960 Speaker 3: by all means, enjoy the markets, but let other people 211 00:09:37,040 --> 00:09:38,000 Speaker 3: enjoy the market store. 212 00:09:38,320 --> 00:09:40,200 Speaker 1: I know there's plenty on the gender at the moment, 213 00:09:40,760 --> 00:09:42,560 Speaker 1: and over the course of the weekend. 214 00:09:42,600 --> 00:09:44,600 Speaker 2: I think you had your plan give a way. How 215 00:09:44,640 --> 00:09:45,360 Speaker 2: did this one guy? 216 00:09:45,640 --> 00:09:49,200 Speaker 3: Well, two days we gave seventeen hundred plans to three 217 00:09:49,320 --> 00:09:50,280 Speaker 3: hundred and fifty people. 218 00:09:50,800 --> 00:09:51,480 Speaker 4: It's mayhem. 219 00:09:51,640 --> 00:09:55,360 Speaker 3: We had people queueing in the sun to get some plans. 220 00:09:55,640 --> 00:09:57,320 Speaker 3: There is demand of the plants, and of course you 221 00:09:57,360 --> 00:10:00,959 Speaker 3: have to remember giving out four thousand lands, it puts 222 00:10:01,160 --> 00:10:03,679 Speaker 3: four thousand plus the ground and people would plant them 223 00:10:03,720 --> 00:10:06,080 Speaker 3: and look after them. So that adds to the fifteen 224 00:10:06,120 --> 00:10:09,640 Speaker 3: thousand plants were already planted and more than more coming. 225 00:10:09,760 --> 00:10:13,360 Speaker 3: We've got another six times to give out plans. Find 226 00:10:13,360 --> 00:10:16,199 Speaker 3: out from the council website where the time is, where 227 00:10:16,240 --> 00:10:18,959 Speaker 3: the location is, and come early. 228 00:10:19,120 --> 00:10:21,280 Speaker 4: I heard that there were people queuing from seven o'clock. 229 00:10:21,520 --> 00:10:24,160 Speaker 2: Yeah, I get in there early. Can anything else on 230 00:10:24,200 --> 00:10:26,520 Speaker 2: your agenda that we should be aware of. Briefly, well, 231 00:10:26,640 --> 00:10:27,320 Speaker 2: let me tell you. 232 00:10:27,320 --> 00:10:30,720 Speaker 3: Apart from the plants, we had a number of walkways closures. 233 00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:34,800 Speaker 3: Now there are some issues with walkwayte especially in we 234 00:10:34,880 --> 00:10:39,520 Speaker 3: close one in Karama, one in Coconut Grove. They become 235 00:10:39,679 --> 00:10:43,480 Speaker 3: high of anti social activity late at night. We close 236 00:10:43,559 --> 00:10:46,080 Speaker 3: the more trial based. It did seem to work because 237 00:10:46,160 --> 00:10:50,439 Speaker 3: people seem to break logs jam defense. So now close 238 00:10:50,480 --> 00:10:53,280 Speaker 3: it and probably which we'll offer them. One who was 239 00:10:53,280 --> 00:10:56,280 Speaker 3: in Craig Street in a Coconut grove and the other 240 00:10:56,600 --> 00:10:58,760 Speaker 3: was in Karama. 241 00:10:58,800 --> 00:11:01,040 Speaker 4: Heem got in front of me the Carrol Crest and 242 00:11:01,080 --> 00:11:02,040 Speaker 4: Newly Road in Malach. 243 00:11:02,120 --> 00:11:05,559 Speaker 2: Sorry, and so they're now closing permanent, but we probably. 244 00:11:05,320 --> 00:11:07,000 Speaker 3: Offer them to the neighbors if they want to buy 245 00:11:07,040 --> 00:11:08,920 Speaker 3: it to incorporate to their land. 246 00:11:09,040 --> 00:11:11,760 Speaker 1: Right, So closing permanently, and that is because of the 247 00:11:11,800 --> 00:11:13,439 Speaker 1: anti social behavior in those areas. 248 00:11:13,480 --> 00:11:14,320 Speaker 4: It's incredible. 249 00:11:14,360 --> 00:11:16,560 Speaker 3: I remember when I was in Caserina, I had to 250 00:11:16,559 --> 00:11:22,200 Speaker 3: close walkways either partially or completely because kids know anyway 251 00:11:22,240 --> 00:11:24,520 Speaker 3: to escape, and of course the walkways are so narrow 252 00:11:24,559 --> 00:11:27,000 Speaker 3: you can't put a car if you chased. So they 253 00:11:27,160 --> 00:11:29,760 Speaker 3: found them at escape roots so by close them completely 254 00:11:30,080 --> 00:11:32,679 Speaker 3: and given to the neighbors. Then create a new situation 255 00:11:32,720 --> 00:11:35,120 Speaker 3: because don't forget people might have dogs in their backyards. 256 00:11:35,200 --> 00:11:36,920 Speaker 4: Yah, and kids will not jump in the backyard. 257 00:11:37,000 --> 00:11:39,560 Speaker 2: What kind of things were you saying in those walkwise. 258 00:11:39,240 --> 00:11:42,640 Speaker 3: Well, smashing the house and then run away shop lifting 259 00:11:42,640 --> 00:11:46,720 Speaker 3: and then run away getting running from one area to another, 260 00:11:46,800 --> 00:11:49,280 Speaker 3: and of course they know every single walkway in their 261 00:11:49,320 --> 00:11:51,800 Speaker 3: neighborhood and the police by the time they go around 262 00:11:51,800 --> 00:11:54,319 Speaker 3: to the other exit point of the walkway, the kids 263 00:11:54,400 --> 00:11:55,079 Speaker 3: have disappeared. 264 00:11:55,200 --> 00:11:58,439 Speaker 1: Well, Convat Scarlas it sounds like a move that hopefully 265 00:11:58,440 --> 00:12:01,079 Speaker 1: those residents who live nearby are happy with as well. 266 00:12:01,160 --> 00:12:03,679 Speaker 3: We always make sure that we ask the neighbors if 267 00:12:03,679 --> 00:12:06,800 Speaker 3: they're happy with it, and you'd be surprised the response 268 00:12:06,880 --> 00:12:07,280 Speaker 3: we get. 269 00:12:07,440 --> 00:12:09,760 Speaker 4: Most people says yes, please not soon enough. 270 00:12:09,920 --> 00:12:10,800 Speaker 2: Yeah, there you go. 271 00:12:10,880 --> 00:12:14,199 Speaker 1: Oh well, Convat Scolus, Lord Mayor of Darwin, always appreciate 272 00:12:14,240 --> 00:12:16,800 Speaker 1: your time.
