About Acacia Hills
Acacia Hills is a semi-rural locality situated approximately 40 kilometres south of Darwin in the Northern Territory, falling within the Litchfield Council area. Covering over 127 square kilometres, the locality has a population of around 711 residents, reflecting its low-density rural character and large residential and lifestyle properties typical of the greater Darwin rural fringe. The median household income is below the national average, consistent with the rural and agricultural nature of much of the Northern Territory's Litchfield region.
Acacia Hills is characterised by the tropical lifestyle of the Darwin hinterland — open acreage properties, native bushland, and a relaxed semi-rural atmosphere within reasonable driving distance of Darwin's amenities. Residents experience the Northern Territory's distinct wet and dry seasons, with lush tropical vegetation during the monsoon months and warm, dry winters. The locality appeals to those seeking a rural escape from Darwin's suburban fringe, with Humpty Doo and Noonamah providing the nearest shopping and services, and Darwin itself accessible for larger shopping, healthcare, and employment.
Acacia Hills falls under postcode 822 and is governed by the local council Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Spillett electorate.
