DARWIN will be lit up with a huge ‘Hollywood’ style CU in the NT sign.

The 12m high signage will become an iconic sight as visitors fly into or drive into Darwin.

An application has been lodged with Darwin council to have the signage erected on Evolution building

The application states the signage will be lit up at night — simultaneously providing a beacon to pilots that they have arrived in the Territory.

“Like Uncle Sams, the CU in the NT sign will become an iconic Darwin treasure,” the application read.

The proponents say they hope to get an NT Government Turbocharging Tourism grant to make it happen

A council spokesperson remained tight lipped as to who the developer was and would not say how the councillors who voted against the slogan being at council markets had reacted to the news.
