Ribbons of Green - Myilly Point to Mindil Beach
The Myilly Point Headland, including Flagstaff Park, will be upgraded and link with other parklands as part of the ‘ribbons of green’ surrounding Darwin city.
This major $6 million redevelopment of prime foreshore space overlooking Cullen Bay and Little Mindil Beach will deliver an attractive new playground for the people of Darwin.
