THE SWIMMING, WELLNESS, EVENTS, LEISURE AND LIFESTYLE (SWELL) PROJECT
As part of the Council's commitment to enhancing the quality of life for Palmerston residents, the SWELL project aims to revitalise the existing facility to cater to a wider range of interests to support Palmerston's growing population. This Tech Tour offers a unique opportunity to witness the ongoing construction progress firsthand.
During the tour, delegates will have the chance to observe the stages of construction and get a glimpse of future upgrades.
Join us at the NT Branch Conference to partake in this Tech Tour, where you'll witness the transformative vision of SWELL taking shape. Gain inspiration, valuable insights and embrace the future of aquatic and lifestyle precincts with this remarkable project.

TIGER BRENNAN DRIVE AND BERRIMAH ROAD INTERSECTION OVERPASS
Experience the impressive Tiger Brennan and Berrimah Road Intersection Overpass project during our highly anticipated Tech Tour. This project is a significant undertaking aimed at enhancing safety and improving traffic flow in the area.
Close to 20,000 vehicles travel on Tiger Brennan Drive each day and this busy intersection has tragically been the location of multiple crashes and fatalities.
The construction of the new overpass will separate the major flow of traffic on Tiger Brennan Drive from the traffic movements on Berrimah Road.
The overpass will also enable the continuous flow of traffic along Tiger Brennan Drive resulting in reduced traffic delays during peak hours, shorter travel times and improved connectivity for freight transport to East Arm Wharf.
Prioritising safety and connectivity, the project includes:
- a grade separation that will see Berrimah Road passing over Tiger Brennan Drive;
- realignment of Tiger Brennan Drive to become free flowing;
- entry and exit ramps connecting Tiger Brennan Drive and Berrimah Road;
- improvements to Berrimah Road catering to requirements for road trains;
- earthworks, drainage works, pavement construction and asphalt works;
- street lighting, linemarking and road safety barriers;
- traffic signals on Berrimah Road only; and
- improved pedestrian and cyclist accessibility, landscaping and urban design.
Join us on the Tech Tour to witness firsthand the remarkable progress and engineering prowess demonstrated by the Tiger Brennan and Berrimah Road Intersection Overpass project. Explore the innovative design solutions and understand the positive impact this infrastructure will have on traffic safety and connectivity in the region.
