Darwin Waterfront Precinct Stage 2.
Master Builders Awards 2015 finalist - $50M development category.
This has been our most monumental project to date. Sterling NT was awarded the landscaping design and construct contract for the new Toga development at the Darwin Waterfront.
In January 2015, we completed Stage 1, 2 and 3, which is the design and construction of the landscaping and irrigation for the sprawling public domain and park, road verges and garden beds, three multi-story apartment buildings and the Charles Darwin University Business School. We completed this under extremely tight timeframes and coordinated with multitude of other trades also vying for completion. In December 2015, we completed the ancillary Goyder Park with tree planting, irrigation and grassing of the space for the opening ceremony on the 05 February 2016 commemorating George Goyder’s landing in Port Darwin.
The irrigation system, designed and installed by Sterling NT, is a state of the art system comprising of Toro 2-wire controllers systems and high density polypropylene lines throughout. The system was designed and installed to minimise water use, with a manufacturers guarantee on most components of 25 years.

Jingilli Watergardens Playground Upgrade
2022 SA/NT Parks and Leisure Award of Excellence Award
Sterling NT designed and constructed the first all-inclusive playground park in the NT, Jingilli Watergardens Playground. The design was created by our Engineer, Mahdi Kansso, who utilised his expertise in understanding client requirements, material selections and design concepts to create a playful and practical public space. Mahdi continued to work throughout the construction phase, providing vital insight to onsite personnel, subcontractors and suppliers.
The space comprised of numerous elements including timber decking, picnic tables, concrete benches, irrigated low-water planting beds and a variety of soft and hardscapes. Sterling NT incorporated the Territory’s rich culture within the expansive shade structure with locally designed and printed artwork within the shade structure. The park focuses on sensory play areas including musical interaction decks, balance logs, mount slide, totem poles, swing sets, wheelchair carousel and a bike track.
