Changes to Library access and book drop

Construction of the new Civic Centre building will soon commence. The current Civic Centre carpark and nearby entrance will be closed from Monday 28 April and remain closed while works take place. The City Library will remain open and will be accessible from the Civic Centre Customer Services’ entry near Civic Park. 

Please note that the City Library returns chute will be temporarily unavailable. A new Book Drop will be installed at the Cavenagh St side of the Civic Centre soon. 

We kindly ask all customers to:

  • return items inside the Library during opening hours, or
  • use one of the 24/7 return chutes located at Casuarina, Nightcliff or Karama libraries.

For more information about the project, please go here.

We apologise for the inconvenience and thank you for your understanding.

Darwin is the closest Australian capital city to Asia, providing the shortest transport routes for two-way trade between the Asian markets and Australia.

In addition, Darwin International Airport is one of the few airports in Australia that operates 24/7.
Furthermore, the deep-water Port of Darwin provides modern freight-handling facilities, a dedicated bulk liquids berth and links with an intermodal road-rail network.

City of Darwin's International Relations efforts contribute to:

  • Community and culture - people that visit and settle in Darwin support City of Darwin’s vision for a creative, connected and inclusive city
  • Economy - access to markets, commercial opportunities, international students and tourists all contribute to Darwin's economic prosperity.

City of Darwin's International Relations Program

City of Darwin's International Relations Program supports a variety of activities within the economic development and tourism area of council.

The International Relations Program is responsible for the strategic management of City of Darwin resources to promote economic development and international strategies.

Projects may be initiated internally, by Council decision, via the Sister City subcommittees or as a result of engagement with significant stakeholders.

The program covers three distinct areas:

  1. Economic development opportunities
  2. Sister Cities and Friendship Cities
  3. Delegations/visits.

Committees

City of Darwin's International Relations framework is supported by the International Relations Advisory Committee and Sister City Committee.

These committees operate to advocate, inform, and support council with its International Relations framework, while supporting a whole of council approach to community, cultural and economic development.

Broader international engagement

The Lord Mayor, Councillors, City of Darwin staff and community members on committees receive international dignitaries and delegations in addition to attending internationally-focused conferences, meetings and events. These agreements can be found here.
