Why The Heights is Durack’s Hidden Gem

27 May 2025

Right in the heart of Durack, The Heights is a growing community designed for easy, modern living with that relaxed Territory lifestyle we all love.

Just minutes from Palmerston — your go-to hub for shopping, dining, schools, and parks — everything you need is close to home, making life at The Heights as convenient as it is enjoyable.

And with Darwin city centre just 22 km away, The Heights also offers a straightforward connection to the CBD when needed, without sacrificing the comfort and accessibility of suburban living.

Retail and entertainment options are right nearby

The Heights is perfectly positioned among a great mix of local favourites. From The Landmark’s popular beer garden to nearby hotels and dining options, it’s easy to grab a meal or drink close to home. Gateway Shopping Centre is just across the road for all your grocery runs, errands, and retail therapy. Plus, Event Cinemas Palmerston is right around the corner for an easy movie night. That means less time in the car — and more time to unwind.

Space to get outdoors

Love staying active or spending time outside? The Heights is surrounded by green space and outdoor opportunities. There’s the Palmerston 18-hole Golf Course and Club just down the road, perfect for a round with mates or some solo time. Plus, around the corner, there is Marlow Lagoon, which offers spacious playgrounds, open green areas, and dog-friendly spots, ideal for a family afternoon in the shade or taking the pup for a walk.

Palmerston Water Park is just up the road. Water slides, shallow pools, and plenty of shaded spots mean a great hangout for the kids (and enough space for the grown-ups to enjoy too!).

Education options close to home

With great schools and childcare just minutes away — including Durack Primary and the Early Learning Centre — getting the kids to school is easy. And with Charles Darwin Uni nearby too, it’s a great spot for families at every stage.

Neighbourhood spots to enjoy
At The Heights, community and outdoor living go hand-in-hand — with over 15 hectares of landscaped parklands and open space planned to connect neighbours and celebrate the Territory’s unique environment.

Residents can enjoy the established lake and green space to the east of the community — perfect for relaxed walks, picnics, or unwinding in nature.

At the heart of the masterplan is the proposed Moonta Park — a standout central feature inspired by the historic Moonta ship. Designed as a destination for families and social gatherings, Moonta Park will include shaded seating areas, barbeque facilities, community spaces, vibrant landscaping, and walking and cycling paths that tie the entire neighbourhood together.

With a convenient location and everything from parks and shopping to education, dining, and recreation just minutes away, The Heights Durack offers laid-back Territory living surrounded by nature — with all the benefits of central Palmerston close by. Whether you’re enjoying the established green spaces or looking forward to what’s still to come, The Heights is a community built for connection.
