Making sure the Territory is the comeback capital of Australia and ready to bounce back post COVID-19 is the main goal of the Territory Labor Government.
Attracting private investment opportunities to the Territory is one way to create ongoing local jobs for Territorians.
Today, the Minister for Environment and Natural Resources, Eva Lawler, released the first in a series of Mapping the Future information products.
Mapping the Future is a five year, $10 million investment that identifies and maps the Northern Territory's natural resource capabilities in areas with high development potential.
Gunn Point is ideally located to support tourism and primary industries such as agriculture, horticulture and aquaculture, and is an area with significant development potential with:
- good all weather access,
- proximity to market,
- transport hubs and a local workforce.
Extensive studies have been conducted to identify and map soil and land capability, water availability, vegetation and biodiversity assets.
