Darwin City
Central Business District

The Darwin City Central Business District, centre of business, government and tourism in the Northern Territory.

The Smith St Mall is the very centre of the Darwin CBD, with new shopping centres a stone's throw away. Surrounded by hotels, government offices and blocks of units, the mall was built in the 1970's in response to the competition from purpose built air conditioned shopping centres in the suburbs.

Darwin City Mall
The Darwin Mall is generally a quiet place in the evenings these days.

The Darwin Council offices, the Parliament of the Northern Territory and most of the Commonwealth Government departments are within an easy walk of the mall. Also in the CBD are the Supreme Court, the Magistrates Court and Government House the official residense of the Administrator of the Northern Territory.

This is where the original town was established and for many years was nearly all there was. Recently the skyline has changed beyond recognition with continual growth the norm as new apartment buildings, hotels and office blocks have been added.
