Creating a Better Darwin

Darwin — the Capital of the North. Australia's gateway to 400 million people.

Darwin is one of the great tropical cities of the world. And great cities have great CBDs.

Our goal is a greener, cooler, modern tropical city... a transformation that will unlock the CBD's potential as an attractive, bustling and connected capital.

To drive population growth, create more jobs and make Darwin a fantastic place to live, work and visit, we are working with partners to transform our city.

Enjoy exploring what we are doing AND what we plan to do...
