The new car park will provide a safe parking space for boat ramp users with waste and dust in the area to be minimised.
Works include:
- construction of new car park with large car and trailer bays;
- improved line up path for easier boat launching on the existing ramp;
- preparation bays prior to launching boats;
- new toilet block with handwashing facilities and disabled access; and
- lighting to new facilities.
"The Daly River is one of the Northern Territory's most popular fishing destinations for tourists and Territorians and this includes the many Barramundi fishing competitions that are held on the river each year," Minister for Recreational Fishing, Paul Kirby said.
"The upgrades to these facilities, in consultation with local traditional owners, will mean that more Territorians and tourist will be able to access this wonderful fishing destination and catch one of our famous barramundi".
The tender will be awarded shortly with works anticipated to commence in August 2021 and are expected to be complete in the middle of 2022.
