Damoe-Ra Park Revitalisation

The Darwin Waterfront Corporation, in collaboration with the Department of People, Sport and Culture, is revitalising Damoe-Ra Park. This project aims to restore the park as a peaceful, inclusive green sanctuary that honours the contributions of Northern Territory women, particularly Larrakia women, in a respectful and engaging way.

Originally dedicated in 1992 and named by Larrakia Elder Topsy Juwaning Secretary, "Damoe-Ra" means ‘eye’ or ‘spring’, referencing a sacred water source on nearby Lameroo Beach. The park holds cultural and historical significance, featuring mosaics and plaques installed to honour Territory women. Many of these have since deteriorated. The revitalisation seeks to restore this legacy and create a reflective and community-focused space.
