24.01.2022 Hot Springs Revitalisation Project Its all happening down at the Katherine Hot Springs! Council workers in partnership with Rise Ventures workers and contractors are hard at work revitalising our beautiful hot springs. ... The Gabian Rock Walls are fast being installed and starting to look amazing. Fun fact about our Gabian Rock Walls: - Gabian Rock Wall cages are estimated to last over 120 years!!

22.01.2022 Just a reminder that the Katherine Hot Springs is now OPEN for swimming. Stage 1 of the Hot Springs Revitalisation Project is all but complete and works have begun on stage 2. A new pathway is being installed along the top of the terrace and plants are on the way for some much needed landscaping, so bare with us as we tackle the "jungle" left by the much needed wet season. ... On another note, the Pop Rocket Cafe opens up on the 1st of May, so make sure you welcome them back and pop down for some delicious lunch or a coffee.

19.01.2022 The Katherine Low Level Crossing has reopening this morning.

18.01.2022 Robert Jennings (KTC CEO) would like to provide an update of the Hot Springs: The application for funding for Stage 2 of the project was announced as successful in January 2017, confirming a further $797,200 of funding this should provide the full funding for this overall phase of the project. This stage of the project incorporates an innovatively themed playground that will add a significant new interest to the Alice Springs to Darwin and east-west tourist routes, whilst the emergency/ disabled road access will provide better access for differently abled tourists and locals as well as improved emergency services access. The playground will relate well to the newly finished pop-up café and provide a diverse venue for both visiting and local families that compliments the springs activity.

18.01.2022 It is progress, progress, progress at the Katherine Hot Springs this week! Here is a sneak peak of the new stairs and more gabion rock walls going in. We have had a few queries about disabled access. Council will be improving vehicle access to existing infrastructure as well as investigating opportunities to improve the direct ramp access to ensure everyone can enjoy the magic that is the Katherine Hot Springs.

14.01.2022 The Hot Springs secured $797,200 of funding for the next stage In 2016, a funding application for Stage 2 of the Hot Springs revitalisation project was submitted to the NT Department of Infrastructure, Planning and Logistics. This second stage of the project incorporates an innovatively themed playground that will add a significant new interest to the Alice Springs to Darwin and east-west tourist routes, whilst the emergency/ disabled road access will provide better access fo...r differently abled tourists and locals as well as improved emergency services access. The playground will relate well to the already successful pop-up café (it will be back in place once the dry season commences) and provide a diverse venue for both visiting and local families that compliments the springs activity. This application was announced as successful this week, attracting a further $797,200 of funding this should provide the full funding for the overall primary phase of the project. The staged project has now been jointly funded by Tourism NT, The NT Department of Infrastructure, Planning and Logistics, NT Department of Housing and Community (2015/16 Special Purpose Grants program), Rise (formerly JobFind), Federal Department of Infrastructure and Katherine Town Council. Katherine Town Council is highly appreciative of all the support. Works for the first stage of works are currently being planned to commence by May 2017 and be completed by July 2017 (all being weather dependent). The exact timing for the second stage of works is yet to be determined.

09.01.2022 Over the last couple of days there has been Facebook comments via other Facebook groups. This update responds to these comments: Council has been working with the Department of Environment and Natural Resources to resolve a clearing issue identified in September. This issue has taken an extended time to resolve. Council met on site with the Department of Environment and Natural Resources Officer on Friday to allow Council to remove the trees that have fallen and secure the si...te for the upcoming wet season. No further works will commence until April/May 2017 due to the delays. Council sees this project as a priority and will take action as soon as they can. Any matter regarding people driving into carparks the wrong way up the one way street is a matter for the police. Katherine Town Council is working in partnership with the NT Police. In case you were not aware, Katherine Town Council’s Open Forum is tonight at 5.30pm at the Council Chambers Civic Centre on the Stuart Highway. May I invite anyone that would like to ask further questions by speaking directly to the Mayor or Elected members, the CEO or the Director of Works to come and have this opportunity in person.
