The CLP Government has been made aware of concerns surrounding the financial status of Darwin Port operator, Landbridge.
We have provided notice to the Federal Government given the Port’s national significance.
The Territory Government has written to Landbridge seeking further information about their financial status, and ability to meet their payment obligations.
This additional information will guide the Territory Government’s next steps regarding operations at the Port.
Our immediate focus is to ensure the Port remains operational while its longer term future is confirmed.
Northern Territory Treasurer, Bill Yan, will meet with the Federal Government’s Minister for Infrastructure, Transport and Regional Development, Catherine King, to discuss this issue in Canberra tomorrow.
The Northern Territory is reviewing our rights, and our future action will be made in the best interests of Territorians.
