🚴‍♂️🏫 What a morning at Nightcliff Primary School! 🏫🚴‍♀️

We had a fantastic turnout at our Open Streets event last Friday morning to wrap up our time in Darwin! It was wonderful to see the community come together for such an exciting start to the day. Hector the Cat was a big hit, promoting road safety amongst our young active travellers.

This event also marked the perfect launch of our new ActiveMaps program with the school. We're thrilled to see students and families embracing active travel so enthusiastically!

A huge thank you to City of Darwin, Nightcliff Primary School and all those that participated and made the morning such a success. Let’s keep the momentum going!
