New Todd Mall entrance unveiled
If you’ve taken a stroll down Todd Mall recently, you may have noticed something a little different waiting for you at the southern entrance.
The recently completed Todd Mall entry statement brings a contemporary new look to a long-standing and iconic Alice Springs landmark.
The entrance sign was completed in time for the recent Finke Street Party & Night Markets, with numerous visitors to our town capturing photographic mementos beside it, effectively promoting our Todd Mall across the country.
The new sign is illuminated in the evening, highlighting the entrance to the Todd Mall and providing a twilight photo opportunity. So, if you haven’t seen it yet, make sure you check it out – we’d love to see your photos next to the sign on social media, just tag AliceSpringsTC!

Progress on park upgrades around Alice
Over the past 12 months, Alice Springs Town Council have been hard at work to complete upgrades to several public parks, in line with placemaking commitments outlined in last year’s Municipal Plan 2020/2021.
Council’s Depot works included installation of a large shade structure over existing play equipment at Spencer Park, four outdoor fitness centres located along Barrett Drive and Sturt Terrace, dog-friendly bubblers and shade structures installed at Tucker Park, and the refurbishing of Rotaract Park into a designated off-leash exercise area for dogs, big and small, with no time restrictions.
A new 1.25m wide concrete path and dog-friendly water bubblers were also recently completed at Oleander Park.
In Council’s recently adopted Municipal Plan 2020/2022, place-making projects continue with new play equipment to be installed at Oleander and Tucker Parks this coming year.
For those wanting to shoot hoops, you will find a new 6x7m basketball court at McCoy Park, along with a newly installed smart bin.
Council would like to thank members of the Alice Springs community who contributed their feedback to these projects! Parks upgrades and place-making benefits our entire community – keep up with all future projects by downloading the Municipal Plan 2020/2022, available from Council’s website.
