Darwin City security tip
Apartments and balcony doors
About 99% of Darwin City homes were apartments and 75% were rented at the 2021 Census. Keep balcony doors locked when you're out, even on upper floors, keep car park and lobby doors closed behind you, and use portable security if you rent. In cyclone season, check your building's plan for doors and power.
Darwin City homes and what they mean for security
Darwin City is made up almost entirely of apartment towers and blocks, many with balconies and sliding doors left open for the breeze, and shared car parks, pools and lobbies. Offices, shops and Mitchell Street venues need after-hours security, and cyclone season affects doors, glazing and backup power.
