Darwin Basketball Association (DBA) has ceased operations

As part of Basketball Australia’s proposal for an improved structural arrangement, endorsed by our clubs, DBA has now ceased operations.

Staff will no longer be in the office and emails will not be monitored.

A new League - Darwin Basketball League (DBL) - will be formed under Basketball NT for 2026.

The new arrangement is designed to herald in a new era for local basketball – one that respects DBA’s past, while delivering a brighter future.

For all basketball related questions (including registrations, court hire, etc), please contact: [email protected]

For businesses needing answers about DBA ceasing operations, please contact: [email protected]

Note: Ventia Stadium will be closed for the time being. Please monitor BNT social media for more information.

THE FUTURE OF DARWIN BASKETBALL ASSOCIATION (DBA)

Dear basketball community.

At an historic Special General Meeting (SGM) today, DBA affiliate members voted to support Basketball Australia’s (BA) proposal to transition DBA operations to a new governance model, which will see the establishment of the Darwin Basketball League (DBL) under Basketball NT (BNT).

The vote was made to ensure basketball in Darwin (and across the NT) is given the best opportunity to bounce back and enter a new era of financial strength, good governance and quality product for our players, volunteers and staff.

Today’s vote authorises the DBA affiliate members to start the process to wind up DBA and transition to DBL through formal channels, including legal, constitutional and member engagement.

A transition committee is being formed and will guide the changes over coming weeks and months.

IMPORTANTLY: Ventia Stadium will transfer from DBA to BNT and stay in basketball, competitions (including Friday night’s League Men’s and Women’s Grand Finals) will continue and the DBL will inherit DBA records and history.

DBA Board.
