0828, NT 0829, NT

Postcode 0829 and postcode 0828 are neighbouring areas in the Greater Darwin region with very different populations. Postcode 0829 is a Defence Force hub where 28% of people have served, and it has a far higher Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander population at 48%. In contrast, postcode 0828 is a diverse area where 31.7% of people were born overseas and 37.2% use another language at home. There is also a significant difference in family life; children under 15 make up 20.1% of postcode 0828, compared to just 2.6% in postcode 0829.

These gaps in demographics are widening, particularly for overseas-born residents and those caring for children. Despite these shifts, the two areas are almost identical in their lack of public transport use for commuting and share similar terrain. Both areas also have a low share of homes within a 15-minute walk of health services, which sits at around 17% to 18% for both.
