The Territory Government has awarded 215 contracts since July 1 2018, with over 85 per cent of these going to Territory enterprises.
Ninety-seven contracts for construction projects have been awarded in the 2018/19 financial year, with 100% of these awarded to Territory Enterprises.
The Territory Government released its annual update of the Territory’s 10 Year Infrastructure Plan 2018 – 2027.
The yearly review provides transparency in planning and prioritises Government and Private projects for the Territory’s future growth.
The first Plan was released in 2017 by Government along with the Economic Development Strategy, and sets out the Territory’s long-term infrastructure agenda.
The publication of project planning, investment opportunities and sectors linked to future projects helps to guide and inform investment decisions, as well as certainty in business planning and workforce development.
The NT Government will deliver another significant infrastructure investment in 2018-19 of $1.45B.
The 10 Year Infrastructure Plan includes private and public sector projects including:
- Warren Park Rugby Stadium
- Darwin Westin Luxury Hotel
- Zuccoli Primary School
- Truck Central
- Mining Facilities in Tennant Creek
- Aged Care Facility in Nhulunbuy
- $15 million on recreational fishing
- $12 million Alice Springs Adventure Cycling Tracks
- Arnhem Space Centre
- Tennant Creek Integrated Preschool
- Darwin High School STEAM Centre
Over the last 9 months, the Government has consulted with industry, business and local government to review the plan and will continue to undertake annual reviews to reflect ongoing development in the Territory.
