About Bynoe
Bynoe is a sparsely populated coastal locality in the Northern Territory, situated approximately 46 kilometres south-west of Darwin in the Hundred of Milne cadastral district. With a population of 98 at the 2021 Census spread across 378 square kilometres, it is one of the larger but least densely settled areas near the Top End capital. The postcode area has a median taxable income of $37,359.
Named after the adjacent Bynoe Harbour — a large tidal inlet on the Territory's northern coast — the locality is characterised by tropical savanna woodland, tidal mudflats, and mangrove-lined waterways popular with recreational fishers. Bynoe has no shops, schools, or sealed roads of its own; residents rely on nearby rural communities or Darwin for all services. The area is accessed via unsealed tracks and appeals to those who value remote Top End living, fishing, and proximity to the natural bushland and coastline south-west of Darwin.
Bynoe falls under postcode 822 and is governed by the local council Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Spillett electorate.
