NT Freight Working Group

The Northern Territory Freight Working Group was established in June 2002 to represent the Northern Territory’s interests in the Australian Freight Council Networks (AFCN). Activities of the Freight Working Group are jointly funded by the Commonwealth Department of Transport and Regional Services and the Northern Territory Department of the Chief Minister (Major Projects, Asian Relations and Trade).

The role of the Northern Territory Freight Working Group is to:

• Provide advice to the NT Government on key transport and logistics issues as well as education and training needs for the freight industry (covering all modes)
• Provide advice on how the government and industry can work together to develop the new AustralAsia Trade Route; and
• Implement initiatives relevant to the freight logistics industry in the Northern Territory.
