East Arm is a suburb in the Northern Territory of Australia located in Darwin about 8 kilometres (5.0 mi) east of Darwin City overlooking a part of Darwin Harbour known as the East Arm.[5][2]
East Arm consists of land associated with a peninsula extending into the harbour and part of the channels of the following waterbodies that bound the peninsula's coastline: Blesser Creek to the north-west, Frances Bay to the west, the channel known as East Arm to the south and Hudson Creek to the south-east. The name has been used for the locale since the mid-nineteen century. The suburb’s boundary and name were gazetted on 21 April 2004.[1] [4][2]
Infrastructure and facilities located within the suburb included the following - a wharf facility at its south-west end known as the East Arm wharf, a public boat ramp and a barge loading area that both access Hudson Creek and the northern terminus for the Adelaide-Darwin railway.[10][11][12][13]
The 2016 Australian census which was conducted in August 2016 reports that East Arm had 13 people living within its boundaries.[3]
East Arm is located within the federal division of Solomon, the territory electoral division of Spillett and the unincorporated area known as the Northern Territory Rates Act Area.[7][6][1]
