A PLAN to establish night golf facilities in Darwin city has been brought to daylight after the proposal was once again put before council.
Gardens Park Golf Links, at The Gardens, is investigating costs, legislation, planning laws and consulting the community in a bid to put the project into practice.
The plan would include installing more than 30 floodlights to light up the nine-hole course for night-golfing and functions.
Organisers say the move would extend course opening hours and increase evening activities in Darwin.
The proposal, estimated to cost a total of about $1 million about two years ago, was put before Darwin City Council recently.
But Lord Mayor Graeme Sawyer said it may be a further 18 months before the move could be approved.
"It has a long way to go yet," he said.
"The proposal is to light the first hole, and then to show that to the public and have community consultation around it.
"Then proceed to light the rest of the course."
Alderman Roger Dee, who has been leasing the course for about 25 years, first applied for the move in 2000.
It was again discussed in the confidential section of council meeting in June 2009.
Mr Dee then rejected claims the agreement was controversial despite his double role.
And Mr Sawyer then defended the secrecy, saying it was only fair to keep Mr Dee's commercial interests from competitors.
Mr Dee failed to return calls from the NT News last week.
