1 00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:03,360 Speaker 1: Parliament resumes in the NT this morning, so we won't 2 00:00:03,400 --> 00:00:05,760 Speaker 1: take our next guest time up for too long because 3 00:00:05,760 --> 00:00:07,160 Speaker 1: she's got to get in there. But we know that 4 00:00:07,200 --> 00:00:11,120 Speaker 1: a major planning proposal could reshape part of Darwin's inner 5 00:00:11,160 --> 00:00:14,880 Speaker 1: suburbs with a new application lodge to rezone land within 6 00:00:14,920 --> 00:00:17,599 Speaker 1: the Baggott community. So the proposal would allow for a 7 00:00:17,600 --> 00:00:21,400 Speaker 1: mix of commercial and community development along Baggott Road, including shops, 8 00:00:21,720 --> 00:00:27,240 Speaker 1: a supermarket, childcare and medical services. Now as that consultation opens, 9 00:00:27,240 --> 00:00:30,520 Speaker 1: obviously questions already been raised about the community impact the 10 00:00:30,560 --> 00:00:33,320 Speaker 1: long term planning for the area as well. But joining 11 00:00:33,400 --> 00:00:36,479 Speaker 1: us on the line is Lorie Zo, the member for 12 00:00:36,600 --> 00:00:39,280 Speaker 1: Fanny Bay. Good morning to you, Laurie. 13 00:00:39,120 --> 00:00:41,440 Speaker 2: Good morning Katie, and good morning to everybody listening. 14 00:00:41,720 --> 00:00:43,680 Speaker 1: Lovely to have you on the show. Now, obviously we 15 00:00:43,720 --> 00:00:47,120 Speaker 1: know this is not your parcel of land, but it 16 00:00:47,240 --> 00:00:52,320 Speaker 1: is in your electorate. What exactly is being proposed from 17 00:00:52,360 --> 00:00:55,600 Speaker 1: what you can see when it comes to that land 18 00:00:55,600 --> 00:00:56,840 Speaker 1: within the Baggett community. 19 00:00:57,920 --> 00:01:00,920 Speaker 2: So at the moment there's a suppose of planning website 20 00:01:00,960 --> 00:01:05,480 Speaker 2: to rezone a parcel of land in Baggott community. The 21 00:01:05,520 --> 00:01:08,480 Speaker 2: community has come together and they've made the decision to 22 00:01:09,680 --> 00:01:11,560 Speaker 2: try and capitalize on a little bit of that land 23 00:01:11,600 --> 00:01:15,399 Speaker 2: a little bit. So I haven't yet received a briefing 24 00:01:15,440 --> 00:01:18,240 Speaker 2: about exactly what is planned for that block. I've got 25 00:01:18,280 --> 00:01:20,840 Speaker 2: a meeting next week to try and figure out exactly 26 00:01:20,840 --> 00:01:23,760 Speaker 2: what might be planned. But at the moment, the application 27 00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:26,800 Speaker 2: is just to rezone some of that land for that 28 00:01:26,920 --> 00:01:30,240 Speaker 2: future purpose he get next week. 29 00:01:30,319 --> 00:01:32,240 Speaker 1: I mean, it seems like a good idea. You've like, 30 00:01:32,319 --> 00:01:35,240 Speaker 1: we've got quite a substantial amount of land there. I 31 00:01:35,280 --> 00:01:37,240 Speaker 1: know that I believe the Japes have got some of 32 00:01:37,240 --> 00:01:40,240 Speaker 1: the land, and then obviously the other parcel I'm assuming 33 00:01:40,440 --> 00:01:44,520 Speaker 1: is is the Bagot communities, and you know, it would 34 00:01:44,520 --> 00:01:46,360 Speaker 1: be a good thing you would think, I know not 35 00:01:46,400 --> 00:01:48,200 Speaker 1: everybody might agree, but you would think it would be 36 00:01:48,240 --> 00:01:50,400 Speaker 1: a good thing to see a bit of development along there. 37 00:01:51,280 --> 00:01:54,600 Speaker 2: Yeah, absolutely, there's there's definitely people that have reached out 38 00:01:54,600 --> 00:01:57,120 Speaker 2: to me. They've got questions about it. People want to 39 00:01:57,120 --> 00:01:59,280 Speaker 2: know answers. I don't have those answers just yet, but 40 00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:02,960 Speaker 2: you know, there's there's questions around sort of will will 41 00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:05,000 Speaker 2: alcohol be sold in that pope, Like will there be 42 00:02:05,040 --> 00:02:07,200 Speaker 2: a liqua outlet? All that kind of stuff. People have 43 00:02:07,240 --> 00:02:11,800 Speaker 2: concerns around those sorts of changes. Other people have concerns 44 00:02:11,840 --> 00:02:15,520 Speaker 2: around sort of more more development in in the area. 45 00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:18,440 Speaker 2: The block of land that we're talking about today is 46 00:02:18,480 --> 00:02:22,280 Speaker 2: in Baggott Community and it is currently completely cleared. I mean, 47 00:02:22,280 --> 00:02:24,640 Speaker 2: there's a few trees around the outside, but it's pretty 48 00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:26,720 Speaker 2: much a vacant block of land that has been cleared 49 00:02:26,720 --> 00:02:29,520 Speaker 2: already and it's just sort of sitting stagnant. There's a 50 00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:32,519 Speaker 2: there's a footy oval in the back of Baggot Community 51 00:02:32,520 --> 00:02:35,840 Speaker 2: that doesn't really get used, or it doesn't I'm pretty 52 00:02:35,840 --> 00:02:38,000 Speaker 2: sure that it doesn't get used at all. So there's 53 00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:40,359 Speaker 2: this piece of land that could be utilized to help 54 00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:44,800 Speaker 2: support the community and the wider community as well. So 55 00:02:44,840 --> 00:02:47,360 Speaker 2: I'm really hoping to get more detail on that next 56 00:02:47,360 --> 00:02:50,280 Speaker 2: week and hopefully we can find out exactly what they're planning. 57 00:02:50,400 --> 00:02:52,520 Speaker 1: And so I guess once you get that, you know, 58 00:02:52,639 --> 00:02:56,480 Speaker 1: get that that, like, get that sort of level of detail, 59 00:02:56,480 --> 00:02:58,440 Speaker 1: you'll be able to let people know. And I'm assuming 60 00:02:58,520 --> 00:03:02,360 Speaker 1: that there will be consultation as well as in you know, 61 00:03:02,440 --> 00:03:06,920 Speaker 1: the Baggot community wanting to do that consultation to sort 62 00:03:06,919 --> 00:03:09,160 Speaker 1: of liaise with the community about what they may or 63 00:03:09,200 --> 00:03:09,840 Speaker 1: may not want. 64 00:03:10,680 --> 00:03:14,280 Speaker 2: Yeah, that's right, and hopefully the current application is just 65 00:03:14,320 --> 00:03:16,400 Speaker 2: to rezone the land. It's not for any development, it's 66 00:03:16,440 --> 00:03:19,680 Speaker 2: not for any plan that's going forward. It's just their 67 00:03:19,680 --> 00:03:21,800 Speaker 2: thoughts are they need to rezone the land to be 68 00:03:21,800 --> 00:03:24,200 Speaker 2: able to at least move in that direction. So that 69 00:03:24,400 --> 00:03:28,119 Speaker 2: is open. I think it's till the thirteenth of April. 70 00:03:28,639 --> 00:03:30,240 Speaker 2: I might have to recheck that date. I put a 71 00:03:30,240 --> 00:03:32,240 Speaker 2: place stuff on my Facebook page around the dates that 72 00:03:32,280 --> 00:03:35,080 Speaker 2: the rezoning is open for, so if anybody's got any 73 00:03:35,080 --> 00:03:37,080 Speaker 2: feedback or any submissions that they want to make on that, 74 00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:39,520 Speaker 2: they have to do it before that date. It opens 75 00:03:39,640 --> 00:03:41,880 Speaker 2: last Friday, and it's opened for four weeks, so whatever 76 00:03:41,920 --> 00:03:43,600 Speaker 2: that date is, I think it is the thirteenth April, 77 00:03:43,600 --> 00:03:47,120 Speaker 2: but we'll see. Yeah, So if anybody's got any feedback, 78 00:03:47,160 --> 00:03:49,480 Speaker 2: please feel free to submit it through the links that 79 00:03:49,480 --> 00:03:52,800 Speaker 2: are on my Facebook page, and hopefully we can do 80 00:03:52,880 --> 00:03:55,600 Speaker 2: some good for the residents of Baggot Community which might 81 00:03:55,640 --> 00:03:59,080 Speaker 2: help put these some community members that live in the 82 00:03:59,120 --> 00:03:59,960 Speaker 2: surrounding area. 83 00:04:00,400 --> 00:04:03,280 Speaker 1: Laurie, any suggestions from the feedback that you've sought so 84 00:04:03,360 --> 00:04:05,760 Speaker 1: far from you know, from people in Fanny Bay as 85 00:04:05,800 --> 00:04:07,600 Speaker 1: to what they may or may not like to see there. 86 00:04:09,200 --> 00:04:11,800 Speaker 2: Well, some people have commented that they'd love to see 87 00:04:12,040 --> 00:04:14,720 Speaker 2: some services provided for the people in the Bagot community. 88 00:04:14,760 --> 00:04:16,960 Speaker 2: People have questions as to whether or not those services 89 00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:20,280 Speaker 2: will be available to people outside of the community if 90 00:04:20,320 --> 00:04:23,880 Speaker 2: it all goes ahead and it's developed. But no, I 91 00:04:23,880 --> 00:04:26,240 Speaker 2: think generally most of the feedback that I've had and 92 00:04:26,240 --> 00:04:28,280 Speaker 2: the people that I've spoken to, people are pretty keen 93 00:04:28,320 --> 00:04:32,960 Speaker 2: to see development happen land not sit stagnant. You know, 94 00:04:33,200 --> 00:04:36,640 Speaker 2: that sort of means that people don't use the land appropriately. 95 00:04:36,760 --> 00:04:39,880 Speaker 2: So yeah, I think most people would be happy to 96 00:04:39,920 --> 00:04:44,680 Speaker 2: see Baggot community try and develop that land and get 97 00:04:44,680 --> 00:04:45,560 Speaker 2: some progress happening. 98 00:04:45,680 --> 00:04:48,240 Speaker 1: Yeah, I agree, And look, I know that we'll I'm 99 00:04:48,279 --> 00:04:51,280 Speaker 1: sure get some feedback. But people have gotten to about 100 00:04:51,320 --> 00:04:54,880 Speaker 1: April thirteen, from what you can report, to provide that feedback. 101 00:04:54,920 --> 00:04:57,520 Speaker 1: They can find it on your Facebook page if they 102 00:04:57,520 --> 00:04:59,159 Speaker 1: want to have a closer look. 103 00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:03,240 Speaker 2: Absolutely, it's that Friday, the Friday at midnight around that 104 00:05:03,360 --> 00:05:06,240 Speaker 2: April thirteenth date. I'm not sure if it is the thirteenth, 105 00:05:06,279 --> 00:05:07,599 Speaker 2: but it's somewhere around. 106 00:05:07,400 --> 00:05:10,039 Speaker 1: There, somewhere around there.
