Have your say on Darwin's Draft Place and Liveability Plan!

City of Darwin is working with the community to create a Place and Liveability Plan that aims to enhance the quality of life and wellbeing of people living within our community by fostering a stronger sense of place and improving the liveability of Darwin by 2050.

What is the draft Place and Liveability Plan?

The draft Place and Liveability Plan provides a long-term, evolving roadmap that reflects community values and supports inclusive, resilient and sustainable urban development across Darwin’s neighbourhoods.

The draft Plan builds on all the work that that has been carried out in recent years to create a capital city that is liveable, healthy, cool, clean, green, smart, vibrant and creative.

Community feedback

When developing this draft Plan, the first round of community engagement in 2024 captured diverse perspectives on the unique needs, values and characteristics of Darwin.

Community engagement results, Darwin's existing Area Plans, neighbourhood features, infrastructure, facilities and demographic information has helped us develop this draft Plan.

Key principles in the draft Plan

Building on an already strong foundation of City of Darwin initiatives that prioritise sustainability, creativity, innovation and wellbeing, the draft Place and Liveability Plan 2050 outlines key principles to guide future planning and investment decisions, ensuring Darwin evolves as a city that is not only economically strong, but socially connected and environmentally future-fit.

The key liveability principles that the community said were important to them included:

  • Open space and recreation
  • Physical connectivity
  • Safety and security
  • Arts and culture

Interactive Liveability Platform

The Plan is supported by an Interactive Liveability Platform, a dynamic, digital tool co-designed with the community to capture local stories, track progress and guide place-based initiatives—empowering residents, businesses and planners to shape a more liveable Darwin together.

Taking your input on board, we are now inviting the community to provide feedback on the draft Place and Liveability Plan, platform and toolkit.

Your feedback will help inform the final Place and Liveability Plan 2050 and help shape how we deliver on the Place and Liveability Plan and make sure it reflects what matters most to our community now, and long term.

The Place and Liveability Plan is an opportunity for the people of Darwin to help shape the future of Darwin as a place and to be more liveable by 2050.
