It is located in the southeast of the country, bordering The Durbanites to the west and the East Coast Region to the north. It comprises the mainland Greater Darwin area, governed by the Greater Darwin Council, for which Darwinschtad is its seat, and the Isles of Macarthur, which operates with its own regional authority, based in Fort Macarthur.
As of 2024, there were 6,184,000 living in the region. The total land area is 5,764 square kilometres, making the region the most densely populated, with 1,072 people per square kilometre.
History
Geography
Governance
There are two regional authorities in the Greater Darwin Region. The Greater Darwin Council has jurisdiction over the Greater Darwin area, consisting of the counties of Epping, Kakapo, Bolton and mainland County Darwin. The Isles of Macarthur County Council provides services to the Isles of Macarthur area. It is the newest regional authority, having been granted Home Rule status in 2016, and thus was no longer under the jurisdiction of the Greater Darwin Council.
