Facilitate opportunities
The Department works with other government agencies to facilitate major economic and resource development projects to grow the Northern Territory’s economy.
We assist the private sector in major projects such as developing oil and gas in our region, and related industries and infrastructure. We work in partnership with key stakeholders, including industry, professional associations, peak bodies, investors and government counterparts to secure economic growth and employment for the Territory.
Our role includes positioning Darwin as Australia’s Asian gateway and further developing the AustralAsia Trade Route, which provides freight links between southern Australia and the nations to our north through the AustralAsia Railway, other land transport and shipping services out of Darwin’s East Arm Port.
