The Northern Territory Government has approved plans for the redevelopment of one of Darwin’s most renowned buildings, Admiralty House, by one of the city’s longstanding organisations, the Darwin RSL.
In a statement, Minister for Lands, Planning and Environment, Joshua Burgoyne said it was exciting to move forward with plans for the heritage building.
“After too long sitting idle following increased crime under the former Labor government, this is a great step forward as part of our year of action, certainty, and security for the Territory,” said Minister Burgoyne.
“As a heritage site, it is important to ensure the building’s values are preserved and protected.
“I considered all available information and advice when approving this application, including visual representations of the proposed plans and advice from the Heritage Council, and have imposed conditions on the work approval to mitigate heritage impacts.
“Heritage buildings should be visited, used, and appreciated, so it will be great to see the iconic Admiralty House come alive again under the Darwin RSL Club,” he said.
Darwin RSL purchased the Admiralty House site late last year.
