The Territory Coordinator
The position of Territory Coordinator is being created to drive economic growth in the Northern Territory (NT) and accelerate private sector jobs and opportunities for all Territorians.
As an independent statutory role, the Territory Coordinator will:
- fast-track major investments, making it easier for investors to bring big ideas to life
- streamline approvals across government, removing roadblocks to economic progress
- boost the Territory’s competitiveness, attracting large-scale investments to fuel growth and development.
The Territory Coordinator will ensure compliance remains a priority, and work closely with regulatory agencies so that projects meet necessary requirements without unnecessary delays.
This will ensure that the NT remains competitive in attracting and securing major investments.
Draft Territory Coordinator Bill
The Department of the Chief Minister and Cabinet invited Territorians to provide feedback on the draft Bill.
Feedback will be considered, before the Bill is introduced to the Legislative Assembly.
