Sales Detail
Tiwi has an estimated 2,641 residents, up from 2,511 at the 2021 Census — a change of 130 people, or 5.2%. Overseas migration accounts for 100.0% of that increase. That puts 847 residents on each square kilometre. Population is estimated from ABS Estimated Resident Population releases and GNAF address data, re-based from the 2021 Census and updated annually.
Detail
According to AreaSearch's evaluation of ABS population updates for the wider region alongside newly confirmed addresses following the Census, the suburb of Tiwi has an estimated count of approximately 2,641 residents as of Aug 2026. This indicates an expansion of 130 people (5.2%) compared with the 2021 Census, when 2,511 people were recorded. AreaSearch derived this shift after reviewing the recent ABS ERP release (June 2025) and post-Census address validations to determine the 2,641 resident total. Consequently, the suburb of Tiwi displays a population density of 846 persons per square kilometer, aligning closely with typical benchmarks recorded across AreaSearch study locations.
Net additions were overwhelmingly spurred by overseas migration, representing practically the exclusive driver of recent demographic expansion. Projections generated by the ABS and Geoscience Australia for individual SA2 regions—published in 2024 using 2022 as a baseline—are utilized by AreaSearch. Where SA2 coverage is absent, as well as for all post-2032 modeling, cohort-specific growth rates from the ABS Greater Capital Region projections (published in 2023 utilizing 2022 figures) are incorporated. Looking ahead, demographic forecasts compiled from combined SA2 projections anticipate faster-than-median growth relative to other AreaSearch study areas, with the suburb of Tiwi projected to add 365 persons to 2041, representing an overall rise of 13.8% across the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
Detail
An evaluation of ABS building permits mapped from statistical areas by AreaSearch indicates that Tiwi averages roughly 2 residential approvals annually, amounting to an estimated 10 homes over the preceding 5 financial years. Throughout FY-25 to date, no building approvals have been logged. Because the community underwent a reduction in head count, construction has reasonably kept pace with buyer demand to provide adequate purchasing options. Non-residential activity has yielded $32,000 in commercial approvals this financial year, underscoring the distinctly domestic setting. Residential development in Tiwi is comparatively subdued, sitting 64.0% below the per-capita regional benchmark for Greater Darwin.
Such limited construction commonly bolsters demand and prices across established dwellings. Volume is likewise subdued against the broader national standard, reflecting a fully developed suburb alongside potential planning boundaries. Moreover, recent residential building consists exclusively of standalone dwellings, upholding a low-density character that caters to purchasers seeking detached layouts. Interestingly, builders are supplying freestanding properties at a pace exceeding the existing stock distribution (74.0% at Census), demonstrating enduring interest in family dwellings notwithstanding broader density pressures. A ratio of 1306 people per approved dwelling underscores the quiet, restrained pace of local building activity. Forecasts from the latest quarterly AreaSearch figures indicate that Tiwi will gain 365 residents by 2041. If prevailing construction rates continue unchanged, additions to the housing stock could fall behind demographic growth, potentially heightening competition among purchasers and sustaining upward pressure on property values.

Royal Darwin Hospital Mental Health Inpatient Unit and CSSD Upgrade
Construction of a new three-storey mental health inpatient facility providing acute inpatient beds and a Stabilisation Assessment and Referral Area (SARA). The facility connects to the Emergency Department via an elevated enclosed walkway, with internal fitouts currently progressing toward completion. The project also encompasses upgrades to the Central Sterile Services Department (CSSD) to meet modern reprocessing standards and clinical safety requirements.
Social Housing Accelerator Payment (SHAP) - Greater Darwin / Nightcliff
The Australian Government committed $50 million to deliver up to 100 new social and accessible homes across the Northern Territory under the Social Housing Accelerator Payment (SHAP). The NT Government is delivering the program, with homes built to adaptable standards to suit seniors and people with mobility issues. In the Top End, the first 8 homes across Rapid Creek, Tiwi and Wanguri were completed in July 2025 by C&R Constructions. A further 6 Top End homes are due to commence October 2025 with completion by mid-2026.Concurrent construction is underway in Katherine East (9 homes), Tennant Creek (3 homes) and Alice Springs (6 homes), all targeting mid-2026 completion.
Edgeview Court Water Main Replacement
Construction of approximately 430 metres of replacement DN150 DICL water main in Edgeview Court, Leanyer, including decommissioning and removal of the existing asbestos water main. The works, tendered as T24-1256 by Power and Water Corporation, involved survey and realignment to minimise clashes with services and trees, traffic management, temporary servicing to existing customers, and testing and commissioning of the new main to ensure a reliable water supply to residents.
Sea Breeze Apartments
Sea Breeze is a six storey residential and commercial development on the corner of Progress Drive and Dick Ward Drive in Coconut Grove, on the fringe of the Nightcliff Commercial Precinct in Darwin. The project comprises 92 apartments (a mix of two and three bedroom layouts across ten floorplans) above two levels of underground parking, plus around 700 sqm of ground floor commercial and retail space. Originally designed in 2015, construction was halted in 2016 when the NT property market downturn hit, with only the basement car parks and ground floor commercial level completed at that time.Builder and developer Sunbuild restarted works on site in 2023 following a renewed period of growth in the Territory economy, and the project is currently under construction and selling off the plan.
Leanyer Primary School
The Northern Territory Government is constructing a new classroom building at Leanyer Primary School.
Casuarina Aquatic and Leisure Centre
A new $26.8 million aquatic and leisure centre in Casuarina, featuring an 8-lane 50m pool, a resort-style lagoon pool, a learn-to-swim pool, wet and dry play areas, a cafe, BBQ facilities, a gymnasium, and a basketball 3-on-3 court.

The club is home to lawn bowls greens, a bistro, bars and gaming facilities, and supports affiliated Darwin sporting clubs including Nightcliff Bowls, Nightcliff Football (Tigers), Nightcliff Cricket, Nightcliff Netball and others. The master plan sets out a long-term vision for upgraded clubhouse and recreational facilities, distinct from the separately funded City of Darwin-led Nightcliff Oval changeroom project next door.No development application or construction timeline has been confirmed publicly.
Northern Suburbs Youth Hub
A purpose-built facility for young people aged 10 to 17 at Leanyer Recreation Park in Darwin's northern suburbs, providing a safe, structured space for after-hours and school holiday programs, mentoring, skill development, and support services. The site was confirmed in early 2026 following community consultation, replacing an earlier proposed location at the former Casuarina Fire Station. The hub will cater for up to 60 young people at a time, with capacity for up to 100 during special events, and will include a flexible air-conditioned activity space, a learning kitchen, breakout and meeting rooms, outdoor activity areas, and a safe drop-off zone.The design and construct tender was awarded in July 2026 to Aspire Design and Construct Pty Ltd. The project is jointly funded by the Northern Territory and Federal Governments.
1,353 residents of Tiwi are employed, from a labour force of 1,397. Unemployment sits at 3.1%, with participation at 64.1%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 7.3% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 4,704, about 178% of the resident population, so the area draws in more workers than it sends out. Unemployment and labour force come from ABS Small Area Labour Markets, updated quarterly; the industry and occupation profile is from the 2021 Census.
Detail
Tiwi benefits from an educated talent pool, significant representation across essential industries, a low 3.1% jobless rate, and an estimated annual jobs expansion of 0.5% according to AreaSearch's statistical area figures. As of March 2026, employed residents total 1,353, with unemployment tracking 0.3% below the 3.5% figure observed across Greater Darwin, while the local participation rate of 64.1% trails the wider capital's 72.9%. Census records indicate that just 4.6% of workers carried out their roles from home, although pandemic-related restrictions during that period should be noted. Local workers are predominantly engaged in health care & social assistance, public administration & safety, as well as education & training.
The area exhibits a pronounced concentration in health care & social assistance, employing workers at 1.9 times the regional standard. Conversely, public administration & safety represents a smaller footprint locally, comprising 15.6% of the workforce compared to 19.5% regionally. Recording 2.1 workers for each resident at the Census, the locality serves as an employment destination that provides more roles than it has local resident workers, drawing in personnel from surrounding suburbs. AreaSearch's synthesis of ABS and SALM metrics over the 12 months to March 2026 shows local employment expanding by 0.5% alongside a 0.7% rise in the labour pool, resulting in a 0.2 percentage point uptick in the unemployment rate. In comparison, Greater Darwin recorded a 0.4% increase in employment and a 0.8% expansion in the labour force, corresponding to a 0.3 percentage point rise. Employment outlooks published by Jobs and Skills Australia in Mar-26 provide additional context regarding future labour demands in Tiwi across five- and ten-year timeframes when weighted against the local industry profile. While Australian employment overall is projected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, rates vary by sector. Applying these industry rates to Tiwi's specific profile points to potential employment gains of 7.3% over five years and 15.1% over ten years (note that this is an illustrative weighting model that excludes localized demographic projections).

How the numbers are built
Population
The Census provides the small-area baseline, aggregated from mesh blocks to this boundary. It is then re-based to the ABS Estimated Resident Population (June 2025 release), and new dwellings built since Census night are counted from address data. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (2,511 at the 2021 Census → 2,641 now). Annual growth rates are compound (CAGR), not simple averages.
Age profile
Cohort shares are not raw Census counts. Every cohort is held as a pair — the Census baseline and a current estimate — and the split is re-based using ERP and state population projections, current to Aug 2026. Median age is the Census median plus modelled change since. Charts that show both are labelled "2021 Census vs Current Estimate".
Property sales
Sourced from the state valuation authority's sales register — current, not Census, and refreshed weekly. Medians are calculated from settled transactions in the period shown; periods with very low transaction counts are flagged or suppressed, because a handful of sales can move a median substantially.
Rents
Derived from state rental bond lodgement data, by dwelling type and bedroom count. Bonds are lodged at the start of a new tenancy, so this reflects new lettings, not the whole rented stock.
Development & infrastructure
Building approvals come from current ABS releases; development applications are collected from council and state planning portals; the infrastructure pipeline is compiled from Infrastructure Australia and local government sources. Applications are matched to this boundary by address or coordinates, so very recent lodgements may not yet appear.
Employment & income
Industry and occupation structure comes from the Census, but the headline labour-market indicators do not. Unemployment and labour force are derived from ABS Small Area Labour Markets (quarterly). The employment outlook applies Department of Employment forecasts for all 19 industry divisions to this area's own industry mix (the agency is now Jobs and Skills Australia), as does the Internet Vacancy Index used for job demand. Because it is weighted on industry composition alone, that outlook carries no allowance for local population growth — in fast-growing areas the real rise in local jobs will typically be higher. Income combines Census household income with ATO taxable-income statistics for FY 2023, indexed forward using the Wage Price Index.
Education, transport & amenities
School enrolments, ICSEA and performance come from ACARA's current release, not the Census. Public transport stops and service frequency are derived from GTFS timetable feeds published by state transport departments. Services and amenities are proximity and count scores built from provider directories, refreshed on their own cycle. The Census contributes only the travel-to-work and qualification measures.
Rankings and benchmarks. Where we rank this area, the comparison set is every area of the same boundary type — suburbs against suburbs, SA2s against SA2s. Benchmarks compare this area against its greater capital city region and the national figure for the same measure and period.
Limits worth knowing. Small areas carry larger error margins, and the ABS introduces small random adjustments to Census counts to protect confidentiality — so totals may not sum exactly. Estimates re-based from regional data describe the area's expected trajectory, not a direct count of it. Figures are indicative for research and are not financial, planning or valuation advice.
