Public Spaces Beautification Program

Public Spaces Beautification Program

Vibrant and active public spaces are essential in all towns. Activate Alice is working with the community to develop public spaces that reflect the diverse and unique nature of our residents, workers and visitors.

In 2023, we ran a public placemaking challenge, encouraging groups and individuals to put forward their ideas for transforming or activating public spaces in Alice Springs. With 11 individual submissions received, the Activate Alice working group shortlisted four to be put forward for a public vote.

Centralians then voted on the top four ideas to create vibrant public spaces across the town, with the following three to be implemented over the coming months:

  1. Installing a Genestreams interactive augmented reality sculpture in the Todd Mall
  2. A pop-up roller rink in the Todd Mall
  3. Community skate meet up events at Speed Street Skate Park

Additional information will be provided once dates are confirmed for the above projects.
