While it is noted that the facili es (Gray Hall and Driver Centre) are available un l midnight, patronage drops signi cantly late into evenings. It is also noted that the JAC is set up for and maintained by Alzheimer’s Australia NT and use by other groups a er 5pm may disrupt their func onality. Furthermore, this facility is situated on a residen al street and the amenity of adjacent premises and residents must be considered. At this point there are no plans to extend availability to other users.
