Opening of the 'Mike Reed Walk' Tracey Lodge

28 June 1995

Opening of the 'Mike Reed Walk' at the aged care facility Tracey Lodge located at 87 Woods Street Darwin. Tracey Lodge had close links to the Darwin Pensioners and Senior Citizens Association where Shane Stone as the Member for Port Darwin was the Patron (the position formerly held by the Hon Tom Harris the preceding Member for Port Darwin). Tracey Lodge was located in the Port Darwin electorate and was subsequently sold off and the site redeveloped with apartments. For many years it was the only inner-city facility catering for the old, frail and those suffering dementia and related illnesses. The Deputy Chief Minister Mike Reed had long been a supporter of Tracey Lodge and the 'Mike Reed Walk' was an acknowledgement of his commitment to aged care.
