Infrastructure projects supporting Jabiru's transition

28 May 2021

Numerous projects as part of Jabiru Beautification are currently progressing with works happening at a few different locations around the township.
Funded by the Director of National Parks and Northern Territory Government, West Arnhem Regional Council have been rolling out specific projects around the community to support local tourism and enhance the visitor experience as Jabiru transitions to a tourism economy.
Council are excited to announce that the 34-metre high water tower in Jabiru will soon feature an incredible mural, with the artwork concept a cross-collaboration by artists at Marrawuddi Gallery.
It is intended this larger-than-life project will be a tourist drawcard to Jabiru and Kakadu.
The tender to carry out this project has been released and it is hoped work will commence shortly.
Meanwhile, other significant projects as part of the Beautification have all progressed this month.
This includes the Jabiru Pool upgrades and shade structure, construction of new shared facilities carpark and exterior upgrades at the Bininj Kunwok Centre.
At the Jabiru Pool, the community and visitors can look forward to the new shade structure which has been installed. 
There will also be an exciting children’s splash pad and three new barbecue shelters and seating and new playground equipment. 
At the Bininj Kunwok Centre, a new disabled carpark have been constructed, along with a new sand pit. The next stages of the project involve two new exterior hard shade structure, chairs and tables, with everything, excluding spray grass, to be completed next week. 
Construction of the new-shared facilities carpark, between Marrawuddi Gallery and the Bininj Kunwok Centre, has also commenced. 
Following the ground being levelled, compacted and the sub-base spread, the team will commence spray sealing with concrete works and landscaping. While line-marking is still being considered, it is expected that the carpark will accommodate a minimum of 40 vehicles and four bus parking areas.
The pool will be closed until the end of June (the gym is still open to the public).
