Christ Church Cathedral at 2 Smith Street in Darwin was designed in 1964 by architect Ian Ferrier of Conrad & Gargett and built partly on the site of the earlier St Mary’s Church that was destroyed during Cyclone Tracy in 1974.
The cathedral was consecrated in 1977, and its design reflects modernist ecclesiastical architecture with clean lines, careful massing and an emphasis on light and space that supports both spiritual and community functions.
The building’s construction and later adaptations demonstrate resilience and continuity in Darwin’s Anglican community after one of the Territory’s most significant natural disasters.
More information about the building and it’s history can be found on the NT Hertiage Trail website, here.
Heritage Status: NT Heritage Listed.
