Welcome to the Darwin Harbour Regional Plan of Management
With a breathtaking mix of weathered landscapes, vast plains, rivers, wetlands and coastal and marine environments, the Darwin Harbour Catchment holds significant social, economic, environmental and cultural importance within the Top End Community.
Covering 3227sq km, the Catchment stretches from the cities of Darwin and Palmerston extending as far south as Darwin River Dam to the outskirts of Humpty Doo, the Cox Peninsula and the settlements of Belyeun and Wagait Beach.
The catchment of Darwin Harbour contains the largest concentration of residential, commercial and industrial activities in the Northern Territory. Managing the resources associated with Darwin Harbour and its catchment requires an integrated and cooperative whole of catchment approach. The Darwin Harbour Regional Plan of Management is now being implemented and the implementation is overseen by the Darwin Harbour Advisory Committee (DHAC) comprising members drawn from the community.
