City of Darwin governs essential community services such as waste management, domestic animal management, playgrounds, and recreational facilities, city libraries, and town planning. We work to build a community with second-to-none infrastructure and community services.
Important message
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.
