1
00:00:00,440 --> 00:00:03,160
Speaker 1: But there is certainly lots happening all around the place,

2
00:00:03,160 --> 00:00:06,120
Speaker 1: and if you live in Palmerston, you're probably quite excited

3
00:00:06,160 --> 00:00:08,680
Speaker 1: about the new pool and leisure center which is set

4
00:00:08,760 --> 00:00:11,119
Speaker 1: to be developed in the area. It is one of

5
00:00:11,119 --> 00:00:14,600
Speaker 1: the most significant developments in the satellite city, with nineteen

6
00:00:14,680 --> 00:00:18,159
Speaker 1: point four million dollars being invested. Now joining me on

7
00:00:18,239 --> 00:00:21,200
Speaker 1: the line is the Mayor of Palmerston, Athena Pasco Bell.

8
00:00:21,320 --> 00:00:25,279
Speaker 1: Good morning to you. Let me just try that again.

9
00:00:25,320 --> 00:00:27,160
Speaker 1: I'll make sure I've got that through the desk. Good

10
00:00:27,160 --> 00:00:28,480
Speaker 1: morning to you, Mayor.

11
00:00:29,920 --> 00:00:30,280
Speaker 2: Katie.

12
00:00:30,400 --> 00:00:32,200
Speaker 3: We've got to make sure I press the right buttons

13
00:00:32,240 --> 00:00:32,600
Speaker 3: in here.

14
00:00:33,120 --> 00:00:38,040
Speaker 1: Now, this development is obviously massive, one nineteen point four

15
00:00:38,200 --> 00:00:42,320
Speaker 1: million dollars. What can people expect as part of the development.

16
00:00:43,680 --> 00:00:47,280
Speaker 2: The whole center. The pool aerial will be refurbished, so

17
00:00:48,120 --> 00:00:50,640
Speaker 2: there will be re lining of the fifty meter pool

18
00:00:51,400 --> 00:00:54,120
Speaker 2: so it'll stop that leaking and there won't be any

19
00:00:54,200 --> 00:00:57,840
Speaker 2: broken tiles in it anymore. We're also putting in a

20
00:00:58,000 --> 00:01:01,320
Speaker 2: second pool which will be smater, smaller, a program pool,

21
00:01:02,040 --> 00:01:04,080
Speaker 2: and it will be heated and that'll be for things

22
00:01:04,080 --> 00:01:10,520
Speaker 2: like swimming lessons, physiotherapy, acroaerobics. The kids area, which had

23
00:01:10,560 --> 00:01:14,280
Speaker 2: a single mushroom in it will be completely reworked, so

24
00:01:14,319 --> 00:01:17,800
Speaker 2: there'll be a lot more interactive place for toddlers and

25
00:01:17,880 --> 00:01:21,360
Speaker 2: young children. There will also be a two level obstacle

26
00:01:21,400 --> 00:01:25,440
Speaker 2: course installed for older youth and young adults, and it's

27
00:01:25,480 --> 00:01:28,360
Speaker 2: a harnessed course, so you basically get into a harness

28
00:01:28,440 --> 00:01:31,120
Speaker 2: year and then you run the course. It can be

29
00:01:31,200 --> 00:01:34,360
Speaker 2: run either wet or drive and that should be a

30
00:01:34,400 --> 00:01:37,640
Speaker 2: lot of fun for the older kids as well. There'll

31
00:01:37,680 --> 00:01:39,520
Speaker 2: be some events spaces in there, so we'll still be

32
00:01:39,560 --> 00:01:41,680
Speaker 2: able to pull in some food trucks and other things

33
00:01:41,760 --> 00:01:45,320
Speaker 2: like that. A half court basketball court as well for

34
00:01:45,400 --> 00:01:48,600
Speaker 2: some of the teenagers and young adults who don't necessarily

35
00:01:48,680 --> 00:01:50,480
Speaker 2: want to go swimming the whole time that they're there.

36
00:01:52,120 --> 00:01:55,880
Speaker 2: And a cafe facility as well. We're in planning on

37
00:01:55,960 --> 00:01:58,200
Speaker 2: having installed there as well, so you're able to get

38
00:01:58,560 --> 00:01:59,960
Speaker 2: more than just chips and drinks.

39
00:02:00,320 --> 00:02:02,840
Speaker 1: It's going to be massive and you know, really, I

40
00:02:02,840 --> 00:02:05,880
Speaker 1: would suspect really popular as well in Palmerston, in a

41
00:02:05,960 --> 00:02:09,560
Speaker 1: city which is indeed so many families out there and

42
00:02:10,320 --> 00:02:12,840
Speaker 1: lots of young people that'll be looking for different things

43
00:02:12,880 --> 00:02:16,400
Speaker 1: to do. Now that work began last week, didn't it.

44
00:02:17,919 --> 00:02:21,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, so Jtex, who are the contractor, took control of

45
00:02:21,960 --> 00:02:23,920
Speaker 2: the site. I think it was about the twentieth or

46
00:02:23,919 --> 00:02:27,880
Speaker 2: twenty second of August and they're well underway, so they've

47
00:02:27,919 --> 00:02:31,280
Speaker 2: made quite a significant impact on the site already, with

48
00:02:31,360 --> 00:02:34,280
Speaker 2: a lot of the old structures and the old kids

49
00:02:34,280 --> 00:02:38,200
Speaker 2: area being removed already, and I believe that the pool

50
00:02:38,240 --> 00:02:41,120
Speaker 2: is now empty as well, so ready for relning. So

51
00:02:41,200 --> 00:02:44,320
Speaker 2: there's quite a lot of work happening already, yep. And

52
00:02:44,360 --> 00:02:47,640
Speaker 2: when it reopens it will be free to the public,

53
00:02:47,960 --> 00:02:50,320
Speaker 2: so we had it free before the closure. It will

54
00:02:50,480 --> 00:02:55,280
Speaker 2: remain free currently though. The gymnasium is still open to

55
00:02:55,320 --> 00:02:57,880
Speaker 2: the public, and as is the youth center.

56
00:02:57,600 --> 00:03:01,720
Speaker 1: There, and so will there be upgrades to the gym

57
00:03:00,960 --> 00:03:04,280
Speaker 1: and you know the youth center as well Athena or

58
00:03:04,320 --> 00:03:06,320
Speaker 1: will it just be to the pool facility.

59
00:03:07,520 --> 00:03:09,840
Speaker 2: The youth center's fairly new, so it's only been open

60
00:03:09,919 --> 00:03:14,799
Speaker 2: for about two years, so that's all new inside anyway.

61
00:03:15,160 --> 00:03:19,160
Speaker 2: The gymnasum, we've made some small changes too. The change

62
00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:22,280
Speaker 2: rooms and the toilet facilities will be upgraded though to

63
00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:25,360
Speaker 2: current standards, so that will be a change in the building.

64
00:03:25,639 --> 00:03:29,280
Speaker 2: But otherwise, the existing gymnasium and the Youth center are

65
00:03:29,360 --> 00:03:30,880
Speaker 2: just operating as they currently are.

66
00:03:31,080 --> 00:03:34,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, right now, how long are we expecting this work

67
00:03:34,160 --> 00:03:34,920
Speaker 1: to all take.

68
00:03:36,400 --> 00:03:39,440
Speaker 2: We're expected to be completed by November next year, so

69
00:03:39,480 --> 00:03:43,360
Speaker 2: it's fourteen months in total. Quite an extensive amount of

70
00:03:43,360 --> 00:03:45,920
Speaker 2: work needs to happen there, but we are looking forward

71
00:03:45,920 --> 00:03:48,240
Speaker 2: to it reopening in November next year.

72
00:03:48,520 --> 00:03:51,960
Speaker 1: I know there had been some concern obviously about you know,

73
00:03:52,040 --> 00:03:55,560
Speaker 1: swimming clubs or any classes that usually do take place

74
00:03:55,680 --> 00:03:58,520
Speaker 1: at that facility while the work gets underway. Do you

75
00:03:58,560 --> 00:04:01,560
Speaker 1: know if there has been any you know, any sort

76
00:04:01,560 --> 00:04:03,920
Speaker 1: of solution found for some of those different groups.

77
00:04:05,640 --> 00:04:09,840
Speaker 2: The Goldfish Bowl in Palmerston does offer aperobic classes and

78
00:04:09,920 --> 00:04:13,560
Speaker 2: other activities there. Council is still speaking to them about

79
00:04:14,080 --> 00:04:16,640
Speaker 2: any other options, but I've only had two people from

80
00:04:16,680 --> 00:04:20,000
Speaker 2: the public actually come to me and say what their

81
00:04:20,040 --> 00:04:23,880
Speaker 2: specific requirements are that can't be accommodated elsewhere. So that's

82
00:04:23,880 --> 00:04:26,400
Speaker 2: what we're looking at doing now, is finding if there

83
00:04:26,440 --> 00:04:31,080
Speaker 2: is something that is available elsewhere. Most people though, can

84
00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:35,040
Speaker 2: head to any of our other areas, but where there's

85
00:04:35,040 --> 00:04:37,800
Speaker 2: water surrounding Palmerston, of course, because we've only got the

86
00:04:37,839 --> 00:04:42,479
Speaker 2: pool in our center here, but there's perhaps Caserina and

87
00:04:42,600 --> 00:04:45,400
Speaker 2: Nightcliff pools are open, and then there's other areas where

88
00:04:45,400 --> 00:04:48,640
Speaker 2: you can cool off such as Howard Springs, Berry Springs,

89
00:04:48,680 --> 00:04:54,080
Speaker 2: the water park, sorry, the wave pool and the waterfront.

90
00:04:54,440 --> 00:04:57,280
Speaker 2: So there are a number of other options around Palmerston

91
00:04:57,360 --> 00:05:00,920
Speaker 2: that people can access. But you know, at this stage

92
00:05:00,920 --> 00:05:04,760
Speaker 2: we've managed to find accommodations for the regular users and

93
00:05:04,800 --> 00:05:06,880
Speaker 2: the groups of people who've come to us and said

94
00:05:06,880 --> 00:05:08,280
Speaker 2: that this is an issue for them.

95
00:05:08,480 --> 00:05:11,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, well that is good to hear that those regular

96
00:05:11,760 --> 00:05:14,600
Speaker 1: users have been able to find a solution. One of

97
00:05:14,640 --> 00:05:16,760
Speaker 1: the other things that is happening out at Palmerston at

98
00:05:16,760 --> 00:05:19,719
Speaker 1: the moment is it's an issue which has been raised,

99
00:05:19,760 --> 00:05:22,800
Speaker 1: as I understand it, a proposal which could indeed see

100
00:05:22,800 --> 00:05:26,840
Speaker 1: Palmerston split into wards, similar to what we see obviously

101
00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:29,760
Speaker 1: in Darwin. So the idea, as I understand, was proposed

102
00:05:29,960 --> 00:05:35,200
Speaker 1: by the Local Government Representation Review Committed Committee Athena. Is

103
00:05:35,240 --> 00:05:37,840
Speaker 1: it something that you think should happen? Do we need

104
00:05:37,880 --> 00:05:40,240
Speaker 1: Palmerston to be split intowards?

105
00:05:41,480 --> 00:05:43,520
Speaker 2: The council is considered it and we don't believe that

106
00:05:43,600 --> 00:05:46,839
Speaker 2: it is appropriate for Palmerston because we are so compact.

107
00:05:47,360 --> 00:05:50,520
Speaker 2: Some of the issues that the Representation Review Committee looks

108
00:05:50,560 --> 00:05:55,640
Speaker 2: at is things like geographic differences and travel times, which

109
00:05:55,680 --> 00:06:00,719
Speaker 2: is really appropriate for remote communities and remote council also

110
00:06:00,760 --> 00:06:06,839
Speaker 2: have an additional layer of governance with local authorities, so

111
00:06:06,880 --> 00:06:11,240
Speaker 2: it's appropriate that there's a council representative in some areas

112
00:06:11,240 --> 00:06:14,400
Speaker 2: in the remote areas where they do divide them intowards

113
00:06:14,480 --> 00:06:18,960
Speaker 2: based on language, culture and travel time. In Palmerston, though

114
00:06:19,320 --> 00:06:21,920
Speaker 2: it takes about fifteen minutes to get from one end

115
00:06:21,920 --> 00:06:24,279
Speaker 2: of Palmerston to the other. It doesn't matter which side

116
00:06:24,320 --> 00:06:26,719
Speaker 2: you start at to drive right across, it's only about

117
00:06:26,720 --> 00:06:31,240
Speaker 2: fifteen minutes. Our communities really do mix, so we don't

118
00:06:31,240 --> 00:06:35,920
Speaker 2: have communities of interest in just particular locations. You know,

119
00:06:36,120 --> 00:06:39,400
Speaker 2: we've got seniors right across Palmerston. There are people who

120
00:06:39,440 --> 00:06:43,560
Speaker 2: take part in different sporting codes. We've only got one

121
00:06:43,600 --> 00:06:46,280
Speaker 2: of each team in Palmerston, so you would travel from

122
00:06:46,279 --> 00:06:48,760
Speaker 2: all over Palmerston to meet up with your friends and

123
00:06:49,400 --> 00:06:52,159
Speaker 2: play a game of footy or soccer or netball. So

124
00:06:53,360 --> 00:06:58,520
Speaker 2: the argument that Palmerston has got distinct populations or distinct

125
00:06:58,560 --> 00:07:02,160
Speaker 2: areas doesn't really with us at the Council. We're looking

126
00:07:02,200 --> 00:07:04,400
Speaker 2: at it going it just doesn't really apply to us,

127
00:07:05,320 --> 00:07:10,000
Speaker 2: our councilors get out and amongst the community right across Palmerston,

128
00:07:10,160 --> 00:07:13,640
Speaker 2: not just local areas. And in any case, all council

129
00:07:13,680 --> 00:07:17,840
Speaker 2: representatives should be representing the entire municipality and not just

130
00:07:17,920 --> 00:07:19,080
Speaker 2: their ward. Yeah.

131
00:07:19,160 --> 00:07:20,960
Speaker 1: Look, I tend to agree with you. I sort of

132
00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:23,520
Speaker 1: think if things are working quite well out there at

133
00:07:23,520 --> 00:07:25,680
Speaker 1: the moment, why, you know, like why make a change

134
00:07:25,720 --> 00:07:29,080
Speaker 1: for the sake of making a change, particularly if, as

135
00:07:29,120 --> 00:07:31,720
Speaker 1: you've said, you know, you've got your counselors going out

136
00:07:31,760 --> 00:07:34,760
Speaker 1: there and getting across the whole area, not just sort

137
00:07:34,800 --> 00:07:37,880
Speaker 1: of sticking to their patch. So I can't see why

138
00:07:37,920 --> 00:07:41,000
Speaker 1: the change is really required for Palmerston. But what are

139
00:07:41,040 --> 00:07:42,560
Speaker 1: the next steps in this space?

140
00:07:43,080 --> 00:07:50,160
Speaker 2: Mere? We initially made a submission to the Representation Committee

141
00:07:50,400 --> 00:07:56,760
Speaker 2: and they've published now their initial or preliminary report, so

142
00:07:56,800 --> 00:07:59,680
Speaker 2: we'll have a look at that in some closer detail

143
00:07:59,720 --> 00:08:01,960
Speaker 2: and we'll make a response to that as a council.

144
00:08:02,520 --> 00:08:04,440
Speaker 1: Now, I've just got a couple of very quick listener

145
00:08:04,520 --> 00:08:06,320
Speaker 1: questions that have come through. I've got one here from

146
00:08:06,360 --> 00:08:08,600
Speaker 1: mattin Driver and it said, Hi, Katie, could you please

147
00:08:08,640 --> 00:08:12,280
Speaker 1: ask the mayor what the big concrete base on L

148
00:08:12,400 --> 00:08:15,960
Speaker 1: Rundy just outside Marlow's is for I'm not sure if

149
00:08:15,960 --> 00:08:16,840
Speaker 1: you know what that one is.

150
00:08:18,080 --> 00:08:21,600
Speaker 2: I've seen it and I've just asked Evil Lawla if

151
00:08:21,640 --> 00:08:23,360
Speaker 2: she could let me know what it is because it's

152
00:08:23,360 --> 00:08:26,560
Speaker 2: on a government road. I'm actually not aware of what

153
00:08:26,680 --> 00:08:29,080
Speaker 2: it actually is at this stage, but we are curious

154
00:08:29,120 --> 00:08:29,880
Speaker 2: as to what it is.

155
00:08:30,280 --> 00:08:32,600
Speaker 1: All right, Well, hopefully we can find out. Hey, another

156
00:08:32,640 --> 00:08:35,679
Speaker 1: one that came through. Someone's just called through and asked

157
00:08:35,720 --> 00:08:38,680
Speaker 1: if we could ask you about a mahogany tree which

158
00:08:38,720 --> 00:08:43,480
Speaker 1: is apparently on the corner of Dylan Circuit and Essington Avenue,

159
00:08:44,280 --> 00:08:48,000
Speaker 1: which is really quite large, and from what this listener says,

160
00:08:48,400 --> 00:08:52,320
Speaker 1: it is like it's looking as though it's, you know,

161
00:08:52,400 --> 00:08:54,920
Speaker 1: it's overgrown. At this point, my understanding is that it

162
00:08:55,000 --> 00:08:59,200
Speaker 1: is on a private property, but it is obviously, you know,

163
00:08:59,360 --> 00:09:01,920
Speaker 1: outside the yard, and they're wondering whether there is any

164
00:09:01,920 --> 00:09:05,120
Speaker 1: potential for the council to sort of step in and

165
00:09:05,200 --> 00:09:09,199
Speaker 1: do something about it.

166
00:09:09,200 --> 00:09:11,520
Speaker 2: It's a tricky one when it is located on a

167
00:09:11,600 --> 00:09:15,200
Speaker 2: private property. Council could have a look at it and

168
00:09:15,559 --> 00:09:18,240
Speaker 2: as far as the public areas are concerned and have

169
00:09:18,320 --> 00:09:20,760
Speaker 2: a look and see, but it's really going to be

170
00:09:20,840 --> 00:09:23,040
Speaker 2: up to the owner of that property to do something

171
00:09:23,080 --> 00:09:26,360
Speaker 2: about the tree. Yeah, I'll pass it on to council. Stuff,

172
00:09:26,360 --> 00:09:28,520
Speaker 2: go and see if they could have a look at it.

173
00:09:28,600 --> 00:09:30,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, that'd be good because from what I can gather

174
00:09:30,840 --> 00:09:33,960
Speaker 1: it from what this person has said, it's they see

175
00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:35,400
Speaker 1: it as being a safety concern.

176
00:09:35,520 --> 00:09:36,440
Speaker 3: So I'm not too sure.

177
00:09:36,480 --> 00:09:38,760
Speaker 1: I haven't seen it myself, but I reckon it would

178
00:09:38,760 --> 00:09:41,880
Speaker 1: probably be, you know, a good thing in terms of

179
00:09:41,920 --> 00:09:44,079
Speaker 1: the outcome if it is something that the council is

180
00:09:44,120 --> 00:09:45,120
Speaker 1: able to have a look at.

181
00:09:46,679 --> 00:09:48,679
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'll see if stuff can have a look at it.

182
00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:52,240
Speaker 2: They do use some standard process for assessing the health

183
00:09:52,320 --> 00:09:55,319
Speaker 2: of trees and the condition of trees, so they'll be

184
00:09:55,360 --> 00:09:57,480
Speaker 2: able to have a look at it and have a

185
00:09:57,480 --> 00:09:58,880
Speaker 2: look and see whether it's unsafe.

186
00:09:59,120 --> 00:10:03,439
Speaker 1: Yeah, Mayor of Palmerston Athena Pasco Bell, I really appreciate

187
00:10:03,440 --> 00:10:05,240
Speaker 1: your time this morning. Thanks so much for coming on

188
00:10:05,320 --> 00:10:07,640
Speaker 1: and having a chat to us about various different things.

189
00:10:08,480 --> 00:10:09,640
Speaker 3: Thanks Katie, thank you.

190
00:10:10,240 --> 00:10:12,800
Speaker 1: It is just six minutes away from eleven o'clock now

191
00:10:12,800 --> 00:10:16,959
Speaker 1: we have got messages coming through about this crash.

192
00:10:17,040 --> 00:10:20,120
Speaker 3: So essentially, from what I can gather at this point.

193
00:10:19,920 --> 00:10:22,080
Speaker 1: In time, it does look as though the lights, the

194
00:10:22,120 --> 00:10:26,080
Speaker 1: traffic lights at this intersection on Tiger Brennan, so it's

195
00:10:26,160 --> 00:10:30,240
Speaker 1: at the lights entering Bayview. They have been struck, by

196
00:10:30,240 --> 00:10:35,559
Speaker 1: the look of things, by a van and struck pretty hard. There.

197
00:10:35,559 --> 00:10:39,320
Speaker 1: Looks to be well some serious damage to the traffic lights.

198
00:10:40,000 --> 00:10:42,040
Speaker 1: Just trying to find out whether it is causing any

199
00:10:42,080 --> 00:10:46,120
Speaker 1: delays to actual traffic as well. But yes, from what

200
00:10:46,160 --> 00:10:48,800
Speaker 1: I'm being told, at the traffic lights the Tea intersection

201
00:10:49,280 --> 00:10:52,000
Speaker 1: where the Bayview entrances, looks like the person have maybe

202
00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:55,440
Speaker 1: done a wide turn into them and has struck those

203
00:10:55,480 --> 00:10:58,000
Speaker 1: traffic lights. So if you are in the area and

204
00:10:58,040 --> 00:10:59,480
Speaker 1: you want to give us a bit of an update

205
00:10:59,559 --> 00:11:01,960
Speaker 1: on what you can see in the area, please feel

206
00:11:01,960 --> 00:11:05,079
Speaker 1: free to give us a call on eight nine one

207
00:11:05,400 --> 00:11:07,559
Speaker 1: four nine or send us a message. You are our

208
00:11:07,600 --> 00:11:09,880
Speaker 1: eyes and ears out there letting us know exactly what

209
00:11:10,080 --> 00:11:13,040
Speaker 1: is going on out on the roads and everywhere else

210
00:11:13,080 --> 00:11:14,720
Speaker 1: for that matter, So if you do want to send

211
00:11:14,800 --> 00:11:18,360
Speaker 1: us a message, zero four double nine seven double one

212
00:11:18,679 --> 00:11:21,520
Speaker 1: three six zero. Now, at this point in time, I'm

213
00:11:21,520 --> 00:11:23,800
Speaker 1: not too sure whether the police are on the scene.

214
00:11:23,800 --> 00:11:26,080
Speaker 1: I can only imagine that they would be pretty quickly.

215
00:11:26,679 --> 00:11:28,880
Speaker 1: But yes, from the photos which I have been sent

216
00:11:29,640 --> 00:11:32,120
Speaker 1: the vehicle, the van does look as though it's got

217
00:11:32,120 --> 00:11:35,959
Speaker 1: some damage to the front of it. It looks from

218
00:11:36,040 --> 00:11:38,880
Speaker 1: the photos that I've been sent as though the people

219
00:11:39,160 --> 00:11:41,440
Speaker 1: or the person that was in that vehicle is outside

220
00:11:41,440 --> 00:11:45,520
Speaker 1: the vehicle. So hopefully no injuries or no extensive damage

221
00:11:45,760 --> 00:11:48,920
Speaker 1: to anyone's car, but certainly those traffic lights look as

222
00:11:48,920 --> 00:11:51,880
Speaker 1: though they've been taken out eight nine four one one

223
00:11:52,080 --> 00:11:53,880
Speaker 1: four nine if you'd like to call through. Lots of

224
00:11:53,920 --> 00:11:56,280
Speaker 1: messages coming through this morning on the text line as well,

225
00:11:56,280 --> 00:12:00,800
Speaker 1: on lots of different topics, and we always appreciate those

226
00:12:00,880 --> 00:12:03,800
Speaker 1: messages coming through. I have just received another one saying

227
00:12:03,920 --> 00:12:06,440
Speaker 1: minimal delay to traffic, so that is good to hear

228
00:12:06,760 --> 00:12:10,080
Speaker 1: that it's obviously not having a huge impact in any

229
00:12:10,080 --> 00:12:13,160
Speaker 1: way on the traffic, so that's good to hear. Oh, look,

230
00:12:13,200 --> 00:12:17,600
Speaker 1: somebody else's message through hopefully responding to that message. That's

231
00:12:17,679 --> 00:12:20,720
Speaker 1: Matt in driver had sent that we'd asked the mayor

232
00:12:20,840 --> 00:12:24,199
Speaker 1: of Palmerston about. So Matt had messaged and said, Hi, Katie,

233
00:12:24,200 --> 00:12:26,920
Speaker 1: could you ask Athena what the big concrete base on

234
00:12:27,080 --> 00:12:31,200
Speaker 1: l Rundi just outside of Marlow's is for now? Somebody

235
00:12:31,240 --> 00:12:34,680
Speaker 1: else has just messaged through and said that the cement

236
00:12:34,840 --> 00:12:38,439
Speaker 1: bases on the roads are the new electronic messaging signs

237
00:12:38,480 --> 00:12:42,720
Speaker 1: being erected around Darwin by the Northern Territory government. Well,

238
00:12:42,800 --> 00:12:45,320
Speaker 1: thank you very much for sending that message in hopefully

239
00:12:45,960 --> 00:12:49,240
Speaker 1: letting us know exactly what the situation is there and

240
00:12:50,080 --> 00:12:52,920
Speaker 1: well if anybody wants to get in contact and let

241
00:12:53,000 --> 00:12:55,240
Speaker 1: us know exactly what is happening and how long it's

242
00:12:55,280 --> 00:12:57,920
Speaker 1: going to take love to hear from you. Now I

243
00:12:57,960 --> 00:13:00,480
Speaker 1: am getting lots of updates on the traffic. I very

244
00:13:00,640 --> 00:13:04,000
Speaker 1: much appreciate you messaging through, Helen. Thank you for your

245
00:13:04,040 --> 00:13:06,360
Speaker 1: message that has just sent me through a fo jo

246
00:13:06,640 --> 00:13:09,080
Speaker 1: and very minimal traffic delay by the look. But it

247
00:13:09,120 --> 00:13:11,960
Speaker 1: does seem as though the police are indeed now on

248
00:13:12,040 --> 00:13:15,000
Speaker 1: the scene, as are the fieries by the look of things,

249
00:13:15,400 --> 00:13:17,400
Speaker 1: so hopefully everything.

250
00:13:17,080 --> 00:13:19,280
