Overview

Bakewell lies just 24.9 km southeast of Darwin’s central business district and forms an inner‑city suburb of Palmerston within the City of Palmerston local government area. Bounded by Buscall Avenue to the north, Chung Wah Terrace on the west and Lambrick Avenue to the south and east, the suburb is well‑served by these arterial routes, offering straightforward links to surrounding suburbs and to Darwin. Residential development began in the 1990s, creating a mix of relatively recent homes that appeal to families and professionals seeking proximity to both city and coastal lifestyle.

The neighbourhood is celebrated for its green spaces, with several well‑maintained public parks, including Bill Lewis, Flora McLaren and Ida Scott, featuring daily‑cleaned toilets and frequent community use. The largest park on the Bakewell‑Gunn border boasts three sizable man‑made ponds, a children’s playground currently undergoing rehabilitation, and a popular spot for remote‑controlled boat enthusiasts. Nearby Bakewell Primary School adds an educational amenity, reinforcing the suburb’s family‑friendly appeal.
