Stella Maris, Darwin

Stella Maris is a heritage site on McMinn Street in Darwin, Northern Territory, Australia.

While the exact date of its construction is not known, a 1936 map of central Darwin shows two adjacent buildings marked as 'Commonwealth Railways'.

[2] The site, which is valued at about $3 million, was leased rent-free to Unions NT by the Northern Territory Government on 2 August 2012.

In December 2013, the former Northern Territory Lands Minister Gerry McCarthy claimed there was "no reasonable prospect of finding any other organisation which was prepared to devote the time and resources to get Stella Maris back to life.

John Lawler AM APM, the former chief executive officer of the Australian Crime Commission, was appointed as the commissioner of the inquiry.

It also found the conduct of the then Northern Territory Treasurer Delia Lawrie and McCarthy in relation to the lease was "not accountable or responsible".

[10] Attorney-general John Elferink then referred Lawrie to the Northern Territory Police for investigation of "possible breaches of the criminal law".
