About Knuckey Lagoon
Knuckey Lagoon is a mixed industrial and residential locality on the eastern fringe of Darwin, situated approximately 10 kilometres east of the Darwin CBD within the City of Darwin local government area. With a population of around 498 residents, the area is characterised by light industrial and commercial estates that form part of the broader Berrimah employment corridor. The locality takes its name from the Knuckey Lagoon — a significant seasonal wetland that fills dramatically during the Top End's wet season and provides important habitat for migratory shorebirds and waterbirds.
The natural lagoon and surrounding bushland offer a striking contrast to the industrial character of the locality, with the wetland recognised as a valuable biodiversity site and a destination for birdwatching enthusiasts during the season. Residents have good access to the Stuart Highway and Berrimah Road, linking them quickly to Darwin's CBD, Palmerston shopping centres, and the wider Top End. Nearby suburbs and commercial precincts provide supermarkets, medical services, and dining options, while Darwin's vibrant waterfront, markets, and national parks are easily accessible within a short drive.
Knuckey Lagoon falls under postcode 828 and is governed by the local council Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Spillett electorate.
