"These materials will in fact raise Darwin CBD temperatures rather than mitigate the heat," she said. "The main glazing to the front grand void zones will be hit with intense western sun, and the angle of the glass will have direct sunlight for most of the day," executive director Raquel Nicholls-Skene said. In a submission to the NT Development Consent Authority (DCA), The NT branch of the Australian Institute of Architects said that the wall could reflect heat into the heart of the city. The plans depict a large 45-degree wall with a mix of glass and shade screens facing a landscaped forecourt.Ĭoncept designs submitted as part of the planning application show a glass building, with little evidence of screening or heat mitigation. The funding commitment is on top of $97 million in funding announced as part of the Darwin City Deal. It came after the Federal Government committed $150 million to the project through a loan from the Northern Australian Infrastructure Facility. Charles Darwin University is planning to construct an eight-storey building on a former carpark in Darwin, as a centrepiece of the Federal Government's Darwin City Deal.
