Establishment of new road - Milton Road

Michael Hawkes • July 31, 2021

Pursuant to Section 273 of the Local Government Act 2021 Council intends to establish a new road in Stapleton.

As background, a survey of No 505 (Lot 10) Milton Road, Stapleton established that the road pavement had encroached onto the landowner's land.  A further survey of the road service established that this encroachment of the road pavements (and suitable width of verge) also affected No 435 (Lot 11) Milton Road, Stapleton.


Council has negotiated with the two affected landowners and obtained their consent to Council acquiring portions of their land for the purpose of widening the road.


Council intents to open Milton Road as detailed on the attached plans.


Pursuant to Section 273 of the Local Government Act 2021, the public is invited to make a written objection to the proposal.  Written objections will be received from Thursday 26th August 2021 until Friday 24th September 2021.  Plans are available on Council's website www.coomalie.nt.gov.au or at its Administration Office, 22 Cameron road Batchelor.


Written objections can be emailed to mail@coomalie.nt.gov.au or mailed to the Chief Executive Officer, Coomalie community Government Council, PO Box 20, Batchelor NT 0845.

Thursday 24 April 2025 MEDIA RELEASE Batchelor Community Postal Agency Update Batchelor residents are advised that all mail services have been temporarily diverted to the Adelaide River Store/Post Office while Council works with Australia Post to establish a new Community Postal Agency (CPA) at the Batchelor Visitor Information Centre. The short-term arrangement ensures Australia Post can continue to provide access to essential postal services during the transition. Council expects to complete fit-out works at the Visitor Centre next week, with staff training commencing simultaneously. Visitor information services will remain operational throughout this period. The community is also reminded that the CPA will only be a distribution point for incoming mail and parcels. Other postal services will need to be accessed at other Postal Agencies in the greater Darwin Region. An opening date for the new CPA will be confirmed by the end of next week, pending successful completion of the fit-out and staff readiness. The facility will combine postal services with existing visitor information services, maintaining Batchelor’s role as a key gateway to Litchfield National Park. Council appreciates the community’s patience and assures residents that the Council’s interim CPA will keep mail services local while supporting tourism in the region. For further information, please contact: Coomalie Community Government Council 22 Cameron Road, Batchelor NT Phone: 08 8976 0058 Email: mail@coomalie.nt.gov.au ENDS
