Fannie Bay The Gardens

Fannie Bay and The Gardens (NT) are neighbouring areas in Darwin with very different housing and demographic profiles. Fannie Bay is a more established feeling area with more separate houses, larger homes, and residents who are generally older, including a higher share of people aged 65 and over. In contrast, The Gardens (NT) is more densely packed with townhouses and has a much younger First Nations population, with a typical age of just 17 compared to 29 in Fannie Bay. This age gap is consistent with the lower personal incomes and lower Year 12 completion rates for First Nations people in The Gardens (NT).

Both areas have tracked similarly since 2011 as highly mobile hubs, with a very high proportion of people moving in within the last five years. They share nearly identical typical weekly incomes and school advantage scores, and both have a high share of people born overseas. While Fannie Bay has more people living within a 15-minute walk of a school or health service, The Gardens (NT) has far more public transport options and walkable amenities per resident.
