High Visability Property Signs
Contact your local Volunteer Bushfire Brigade for high visability steet signs. All proceeds from the sale of these signs go towards your respective Volunteer Bushfire Brigade.
Property Numbering System
Properties have assigned street numbers and lot numbers which are provided to you on your rates notice and most other correspondence from the Litchfield Council. The lot numbers apply to the subdivision lot numbering system and the street numbering is a distance based system, with the street number being the distance in metres of the driveway entrance (or if this is not known the centre of the property frontage) from the start of the street less the trailing zero, with odd numbers on the left and even numbers on the right. For example; street numbers 45 would be 450 metres from the start of the street and on the left hand side, and number 760 would be 7.6 kilometres from the start of the street and on the right hand side.
As there is no postal delivery service, to the door, in the rural area - do not use your street address for any correspondence.
Post box facilities are available in the rural area at Virginia, Howard Springs, Humpty Doo, Noonamah, Berry Springs and Darwin River (please see Postal Services for more information).
High visibility street signs are important, not just for assisting visitors to locate your property, but they are essential in case of bushfires or other emergencies. High visibility street signs can save lives and properties.
Your local Volunteer Bushfire Brigade (see Landowner responsibilities section below for contact details) provide High visibility street signs at a low cost with all proceeds going to the respective Volunteer Bushfire Brigades.
High visibility street signs promoted by the NT Fire and Rescue Service are also available at the Virginia Store, Howard Springs MITRE 10 and Humpty Doo Hardware.
