A PLAN for Palmerston’s future aimed at attracting businesses and residents for the next 50 years is out for public consultation.
The draft Central Palmerston Area Plan includes three focus areas dedicated to recreation, amenity, business and development opportunities to put Palmerston on the map.
The focus for Northlink comprising the University precinct and water park, will be improving green space with a new playground and park area, new bush tracks and a pedestrian bridge.
The Boulevard precinct comprising the CBD between Temple Tce, Chung Wah Tce, Roystonea Ave and University Ave will focus on creating a hub in the heart of Palmerston with more integrated walkways and cycling infrastructure.
There are also plans to create new streets.

Zuccoli resident Michelle Tomlinson said she would like to see the Palmerston pool upgraded.
“The infrastructure is ageing and there’s not a lot of shade over it,” she said.
Northern Territory Planning Commission chairman David Ritchie said it was important for locals to have their say on the plans.
“The commission encourages the community to be involved to help refine the future vision for Central Palmerston,” Dr Ritchie said.
“We’re keen to hear the views of all stakeholders.”
