The government of the Northern Territory has granted land for construction of the new St Savvas of Kalymnos Greek Orthodox church in Darwin.

The land is located in the Palmerston area of Darwin and measures 10,067 square metres.

Architectural plans for the new Greek Orthodox parish were first unveiled in March 2023. At the time, Mackillop Catholic College in Johnston served as a base for Divine Services until a permanent location could be found.
