	"description": "There is a submission relating to amend the NT Planning Scheme for Lloyd Creek (ex Noonamah Ridge). The Minister for Lands, Planning and Environment has accepted an application to amend the NT Planning Scheme 2020 made by Cunnington Rosse Town Planning and Consulting for exhibition. The application seeks to amend Part 2 (Strategic Framework) of the NT Planning Scheme 2020 to include the Lloyd Creek Area Plan. Under the proposed Area Plan, the Lloyd Creek Rural Village would provide for construction of approximately 4,200 new dwellings over the course of 30 years. The area is home to vulnerable flora and fauna, including the endangered black-footed tree rat. Residents said flooding from storm water during the wet season was another concern. Over the last 35 years there have been several plans for Darwin&#x27;s rural area. All of them have mapped-out village centres like Berry Springs, Humpty Doo and Howard Springs as areas of development, including Weddell, a large swathe of government land earmarked as the Top End&#x27;s next city. The Lloyd Creek proposal has been criticised for sitting outside the NT&#x27;s long-standing strategic vision and lack of access to town water and electricity. But there has been a considerable amount of planning for Weddell, which already has connections to mains water and power. Earlier in May 2025 Gerry Wood asked: “Why this blind obedience to this development? Why not an impartial examination of this development? Why not mention that this ‘village’ will have a population similar to Katherine, and have 1000 suburban blocks? Why not remind readers that the last version of this development was not supported by the vast majority of local residents at meetings held at Elizabeth Valley and Acacia fire stations, and as shown in a survey.”",
