Darwin is Australia’s Northern Gateway capital city and its city
centre is the primary urban place in Darwin.
It is a great place to live, work, play and shop and is the priority
setting for office-based employment.
It is an exciting, engaging and inclusive place.
Darwin city centre clearly expresses the relaxed tropical lifestyle
of Darwin.
The Vision
![Page 20: Brendan Dowd - City of Darwin - Darwin CBD Master Plan & future development opportunities for the City of Darwin](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022052322/55814060d8b42a9b098b4e07/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
1. Base the future on the past
2. Link the green and blue networks
3. Make new connections and links
4. Make a resource-efficient walkable city
5. Cool the city
6. Integrate parking, shopping and moving around

8. Clarify the urban structure – centres, precincts and
neighbourhoods

Developing Northern Australia
• Darwin as Australia’s front door to Asia is not a cliché
the proof is in its history and current business, investment
and diplomatic relationships
• Darwin is the only capital city north of the Tropic of
Capricorn
• Capital cities – generate 80% of Australia’s GDP and
home to 75% of our workforce
Future development opportunities
![Page 35: Brendan Dowd - City of Darwin - Darwin CBD Master Plan & future development opportunities for the City of Darwin](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022052322/55814060d8b42a9b098b4e07/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
• Darwin - the fastest growing capital city after Perth and has the
lowest population density
• Northern Territory's Gross State Product - experienced the highest
growth of all jurisdictions
• Darwin - the infrastructure and services of a competitive modern city
Developing Northern Australia
Further expenditure in
port + related road + rail networks
= growth
