Vinnies services moving to Coconut Grove in August, with permanent site still not secured

St Vincent de Paul Society CEO Rob Lutter says its homelessness services will be relocated from Stuart Park to Coconut Grove in August for two years, with affordable housing to be built at Westralia Street

He told Katie Woolf they are aware of concerns around anti-social behaviour and will work with NT Police and Larrakia Nation, in addition to having security cameras, fencing and lighting.

Mr Lutter says they’ve had more than 100 meetings with the NT Government over the last 3.5 years to try and find a permanent location for its services but are yet to secure a Crown Land site.
