About the project
The Northern Territory Government is developing a Master Plan for the Marrara Sports Precinct to guide the future of Darwin’s premier sporting hub.
The Master Plan will provide a 15-year roadmap for improving and upgrading facilities across the Precinct. It aims to establish Marrara as an iconic sporting complex that delivers health, social and economic benefits for Territorians, and creates a welcoming destination for local users, visiting teams and major events.
The Master Plan, prepared by local consultants Hames Sharley, includes:
planning for drainage, utilities, wayfinding, shade, landscaping and public amenities
integrating individual sporting venues and active recreation facilities into a cohesive precinct plan
assessing existing facilities and infrastructure to inform investment decisions
exploring land governance options for the Precinct
planning for future facilities to support multiple users and major events.
Consultation updates
Round 1 – Early engagement (Dec 2024 – Jan 2025)
In the first round of consultation, we heard from sporting organisations, community groups and residents about the opportunities and challenges across the Precinct. Your feedback helped shape the Draft Master Plan.
Round 2 – Have your say on the Draft Master Plan (Aug – Sept 2025)
The Draft Master Plan has now been released. It reflects a shared vision for Marrara to become a world-class, multi-sport and recreation complex that supports elite competition, community sport and active lifestyles.
We are now seeking feedback on whether the Draft Master Plan reflects your vision for the Precinct. Whether you use the facilities every week, or only visit during major events, your views are important.
The Draft Master Plan report includes:
a review of the site’s history and analysis of current facilities
the vision and guiding principles for the Precinct
four-stage delivery plan showing improvements at each stage
conditions assessment of venues and sporting infrastructure in the Territory
outcomes of stakeholder and community engagement to date.
Have your say: Share your views by completing the online survey (approx. 3–5 minutes). Survey closes 12 September.
