Channel Point Community is a private community in Northern Territory of Australia. It is in the Rakula locality south-west of Darwin. Channel Point Community may be best described as a private community of holiday homes with access to recreational fishing areas and the appeal of a remote, beachside location. It is not accessible to the public.[4]

The Channel Point Community was established by a group of Darwin businesspeople in 1992. It is held and managed by Fitzroy Pty Ltd under Crown Lease in Perpetuity 1066. The community includes 27 blocks that are primarily subleased to individuals and families for recreational purposes. It is uncertain whether Aboriginal people affected by the development were consulted regarding the establishment of the Channel Point Community or its ongoing activities.
