Keeping clear of GraftiI have recently noticedan increase in graffitiaround Brennan.

Northern Territory

Government and City of

Palmerston property aswell as private fences

and homes have been

vandalised by graffiti and

this is a criminal offence.

It is important to remove

this graffiti from our

neighbourhood as soon as

possible to prevent further

damage and keep our localarea clean and attractive.

I have written to property

owners, the City of

Palmerston and the NT

Government asking them

to remove this graffiti

immediately. We need to

work together to keep our

local streets clean and safe.

Local residents can

collect kits from the City of

Palmerston to remove any

graffiti you may find.

The NT Governmentis starting a newconversation withTerritorians about howwe can enhance ourcelebration of TerritoryDay, including thepossibility of a public

holiday.Territory Day should be a

celebration that belongs

to the people and reflects

everything thats so great

about being a Territorian.

Territorians are proud

of our unique history,

achievements and lifestyle

and the Territory flag shouldbe flying high on July 1

each year.

Cracker night will always

be part of this celebration

but theres an opportunity

to make it much more by

developing a wider program

of events that showcase our

Territory spirit.

We want to hear your ideas

on how we can breathe

new life into this distinctly

Territory event.

The Government strongly

believes that there should

Putting the Territory

back into Territory Daybe a Territory Day publicholiday but how this may

happen is part of a broader

conversation that we want

Territorians to join.

Weve already surveyed

a cross-section of

stakeholders and its

clear that Territorians arepassionate about what it

means to live here and

how we should mark this

important occasion.

One idea that came out

of our survey was shifting

cracker night to a weekend

and wed like to know

whether Territorians supportthat move.

Wed also like to explore

the idea of extending the

celebration beyond just a

single day to create a more

comprehensive Territory

Week that has a focus on

community-based events.

Were considering acommunity grants program

to fund events, activities

and programs across the

Territory around July 1 each

year.

Sporting events are a great

part of our Territory lifestyle

and theres the possibility of

scheduling sporting fixturesto coincide with these

celebrations.

To tell us how you think

Territory Day should be

celebrated visit:
