Casuarina Shopping Centre
- biggest in the NT

While Casuarina Shopping Centre has the largest number of retail shops in the NT, Darwin also has retail centres at Hibiscus, Karama, Nightcliff, Northlakes, and Palmerston.
Dawin business has been grouped into several areas by town planners with the light industrial businesses largely kept separate from the retail trade.

Nearly every suburb also has a small group of shops with a grocery store, a takeaway food store and maybe one or two other shops.

A recent survey of Darwin Prices is available at NT Government Survey


The following map and list of shopping centres is only intended as a general guide, a quick visit is the best way to discover what is available at each centre.

Opening hours vary, however the Coles and Woolworths supermarkets are open every day except Xmas day and Good Friday.
Coles opens at 6am at every location, closing at 10pm in Casuarina and 12pm at other locations.
The smaller shops usually also open 7 days, with most closing earlier on weekends.

Please check times if this is important because they can change without notice.

Casuarina Shopping Centre

Casuarina contains groups of shops, offices, banks and other buildings (see Casuarina map here) including the Casuarina Shopping Square. With around 165 specialty shops, plus Coles, K-Mart, Big W, and Woolworths, this is the biggest retail complex in the NT. The eatery is a popular place on a hot day as people take advantage of the air conditioning and high quality restaurants and cafes. The Casuarina Post Office and Cinema are inside the complex, however the banks are located in separate buildings nearby.

Darwin CBD

The original Darwin area is centered around the Smith St Mall, with new Coles and Woolworths supermarkets only a stones throw away. Food malls, clothes, a newsagent, chemists and tourist orientated shops dominate this area. The Vic Hotel is one of several places where you can find an evening's entertainment, with the Darwin Cinema and the Darwin Entertainment Centre a few blocks away from the mall.

Nightcliff Mall

The original retail area in Nightcliff and site of the Sunday morning markets. Here you will find the Post Office, the Library and the Police Station, along with a wide selection of specialist retailers and takeaways. The anticipated establishment of a Bendigo Community Bank in early 2008 points to the growing activity in this area.

Nightcliff Woolworths

A small but active centre with a medium sized Woolies store, newsagent, computer shop, chemist and others. Petrol and pizzas make this a convenient call on the way home from work.

Hibiscus Woolworths

Not far from Casuarina, this is a much smaller centre and easier for a quick shopping trip than Casuarina. Chemist, newsagent, pet shop and the usual takeaways are available. The Hibiscus Tavern is next door providing a cool spot for an evening drink.

Karama Coles

About the same size as Hibiscus, with a Coles supermarket and similar shops. The Karama Library is located here, and petrol is available nearby.

Northlakes Centre

Another small-medium sized centre, next to the Northlakes Golf Course. Coles supermarket and several shops including a newsagent and takeaways.

Palmerston Shopping Centre

This is the hub of the Palmerston area and has several medium centres located within a short walk of each other. A cinema, banks, petrol and a Toyota dealership along with a few government offices and the Palmerston bus exchange make this a busy area. The only Target store in Darwin is located here.

Coolalinga

An area which has grown rapidly in recent years, the shops here provide for the outer area of Darwin which has a population of nearly 20,000 people living on rural properties.
