job and always saw it as needing NT Government investment. "We as a council are disappointed. We would need to do stage two pretty quickly. "You wouldn't be able to start stage two with that small a commitment. "Without funding we won't be able to start stage two. We need to have the money in place." The council's wish-list was given to both major parties. It included more mall re-development, plus an "all abilities" park, lights for Albrecht oval, and toilet blocks for Jim McConville, Frances Smith, Araluen and Head Street parks. Mayor Ryan says under Labor funding it is unclear what, if anything, can be done in stage two, given the shortfall and the delay, putting into doubt the long-planned three-stage scheme to cost a total of $15m. The Indigenous All Stars will play here in 2013, says Mayor Ryan, but he understands there have been plans to upgrade the Traeger Park lights for some time. He says one of the existing two sets of lights could be put up at Albrecht Oval. The council also asked for the Solar Cities project to be funded past the end of 2012-13 but this was not included in Mr Henderson's commitments. PHOTO: Market last Sunday in Todd Mall. Funding as announced by the Chief Minister would curtail further progress on the long planned town centre upgrade.
