Moving from Adelaide to Darwin

Hi Peeps,

Anyone here na sa Darwin, NT nakatira? I need info kasi my and my partner will be moving there in 2 weeks. Halos lahat ng napagtanungan ko sabi mahal daw cost of living dun. I need your opinion kung mas ok ba na dito na lang ako bumili ng mga gamit sa bahay sa adelaide and padala ko na lang sa darwin since sagot naman ng company yung pagtransfer. Mas practical ba yun or hassle lang? And kung meron din dito na may alam san ok magrent ng bahay dun, asian stores, filipino groups, etc? thanks!

    kinuha ko lang po sa ibang site sana maka tulung : Darwin's rents rose 9% in just the last 3 months and up to 50% in some areas over the past year. The city has the tightest rental market in the country, and the most expensive rents. Its isolation also means prices in stores are the most expensive in the country for most items.

    hello po. eto lang kasi ang nakita ko na thread sa Northern Territory. may itatanong lang po ako, sana po ma tulungan nyo po ako. Sorry po, hindi ko po alam paano e prepare ang document na yan. I plan to apply for state sponsorship sa Darwin. Extermely difficult tlaga ang off-list occupation pag mag apply for state sponsorship lalo pa sa ibang states sa AU. e try ko na lng po sa NT, baka pwede pa dito.......ayon sa state gov nomination checklist nila, may requirement doon tungkol sa :

    evidence of your financial capacity / net assets to settle in the NT (any support networks you have in the NT will be taken into consideration).

    Family composition Minimum value of net assets
    Individual applicant AUD 35 000
    Applicant + spouse AUD 50 000
    Applicant + spouse + 1 child AUD 60 000 - ( i belong here)
    Applicant + spouse + 2 children AUD 65 000

    Please provide quotes for all financial assets in Australian dollars (For example, certified copies of bank statements, share certificates, property valuations, etc.)

    Please po, pag may format po kayo sa financial assets na pwede e share sa akin, esp. bank statements, share certificates, porperty valuations......thanks po......

    @epsilon108 Sa accommodation ay medyo mahal pero sa pagkain specially sa supermarket ay the same lang sa ibang state dahil may discount sa selected food. Iba iba rin ang range ang accommodation, swerte lang makakuha ka ng mas cheaper.

    Subclass 573
