The Territory Labor Government is investigating a potential infrastructure corridor from Tennant Creek to Darwin, which will allow for continued development of our regions.
The proposed corridor will provide pipelines for future services including gas, water, communications and other utilities.
A prefeasibility study has identified a preliminary corridor alignment which takes into account engineering, environmental, social and infrastructure considerations, and will be further refined and developed during consultation with stakeholders.
The Northern Territory Government recognises that landowners are in the best position to provide information regarding their property.
Consultation will encourage input about the proposed corridor alignment and help identify the constraints that need to be considered to plan for this project.
Following these initial consultations, Government plans to hold public information events through drop-in sessions in Tennant Creek, Katherine, Adelaide River and Greater Darwin.
Government is also working closely with the Aboriginal Area Protection Authority and Land Councils to understand the potential impacts of the project on Aboriginal sacred sites and Aboriginal land.
