The Area

Zest Darwin seeks to contribute to the diversity and affordability of housing choices in the Darwin CBD. The majority of apartments within the CBD area are larger units comprising two and three bedrooms and with Zest offering a variety of apartment layouts, it's never been easier to live and enjoy the inner city of Darwin.

Zest offers predominantly more affordable residential units with excellent accessibility to the extensive range of services, employment, recreation and social opportunities available within central Darwin.

ZEST meets demand for units in Darwin

The 2006 ABS Census of population and housing reported that about 42 per cent of dwellings in the Territory were rented (including public housing), compared to about 27 per cent nationally. As such, the availability of rental accommodation is relatively more important in the Territory

compared to elsewhere in Australia.

Vacancy rates across the Territory have fallen substantially in the past decade, making rental accommodation more difficult to obtain. The Real Estate Institute of the Northern Territory (REINT) reports that, in 2009, the average vacancy rate was 1.8 per cent in Darwin, 1.2 per cent in Palmerston, per cent in Katherine and 0.8 per cent in Alice Springs (Chart 9.3).

Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) Census data indicate that the average household size for the Darwin region fell from 2.91 to 2.64 persons
