Fannie Bay Woolner

Fannie Bay and Woolner are neighbouring areas in Darwin with distinct profiles. Fannie Bay is older, with a typical resident aged 39 compared to 34 in Woolner. It is much more walkable, with almost every home within a 15-minute walk of groceries and schools, and it has far more public transport stops and departures. In contrast, Woolner has a much more international feel, with 43.1% of people born overseas and 35.6% using another language at home, compared to 27.7% and 19.7% in Fannie Bay. This higher overseas presence in Woolner is consistent with a larger share of recent arrivals from abroad and a higher percentage of adults working or looking for work.

Everyday life in both places is very similar in many ways, including typical weekly personal incomes around $1,300 to $1,400 and almost identical family incomes. Both areas have about the same number of people per home and similar shares of residents in de facto relationships. While Fannie Bay has far more people aged 65 and over and more homes owned outright, both neighbourhoods are well above the national figure for people who volunteer.
