Darwin City Waterfront

The new waterfront precinct proposes boutique shopping and restaurants with alfresco seating, luxury waterfront residential, the state-of-the-art Darwin Convention Centre, 2 major hotels, tavern, commercial offices, a public beach, wave lagoon and a recreational boating lagoon.

This dramatic piece of foreshore land, cradled between two wharves, will be a very special place where imagination, innovation and world class master planning are at their best.

Darwin has always had a special affinity with the water. Fishing, yachting and cruising is the essence of the Darwin lifestyle.

The waterfront’s planned new marina will bring easy boat mooring to the city’s doorstep, with a seawall to temper the Darwin tides and a sea lock to let the boats pass in and out.

Here Darwin can showcase its superb international cuisine. Start the day with brunch overlooking the water or share a lunchtime fresh seafood platter with friends. Chill to some cool Sunday afternoon jazz, or relax to music by moonlightat the open-air grassed amphitheatre. Grab gelato on the promenade, fish’n chips by the water, or savour the best of Darwin’s multicultural delights in grand surrounds.

It’s a wonderfully fresh combination of cutting-edge design and resort-style urban playground. For business the opportunities are immense. For the people of Darwin this is a world-class city waterfront to call home. It seamlessly connects the harbour and the CBD.

Reminiscent of wharves and jetties, many of the buildings will span the water like the fingers on a hand. Others, like the oyster-shaped Darwin Convention Centre, will reflect the natural bounty of the water that surrounds the peninsula.

This is an exciting new chapter in the story of Darwin.
