Business
- RHODESY’S LEGACY The late construction king Greg Rhodes had an extraordinary passion for opening up Australia – and the tougher the job, the better. He was particularly interested in the Tanami Road, a 1000 kilometre dirt and gravel link between Alice Springs and Halls Creek. Rhodesy, as he was affectionately known, often said he planned how...Read more
- DCOH GUINEAS DAY With family ties to the racing industry that hark back to the late 1800s, it’s no surprise that Darwin businessman Shane Dignan rates the Darwin Cup Carnival as one of his favourite events on the Top End social calendar. Fond memories of childhood holidays caring for horses at his uncle’s farm, plus numerous jockeys, trainers and...Read more
- HUMPTY DOO BARRAMUNDI SETS NEW BENCHMARK More than 30 years later, the proudly family-owned business now sends approximately 120 tonnes of fresh barramundi around Australia and to international markets each week. The Richards family, who pioneered sustainable aquaculture in Australia, are celebrating another major milestone in their journey – becoming the first Australian...Read more
- BANK AT HEART OF THE COMMUNITY Coolalinga & Districts Community Bank, which is 28 kilometres south-east of Darwin, began as a bold vision by local business people determined to create a bank that truly served its community. Today, it sits at the heart of a growing, vibrant rural region. From the moment customers walk through the door, it’s clear this is no...Read more
Major Projects
- A BUDGET ‘FOR EVERYDAY TERRITORIANS’ This is an important room to speak to after a budget, because people here deal with the practical end. You see quickly whether a budget is real, whether projects are funded, tenders are moving, confidence is holding, and the Territory is becoming easier or harder to invest in. The budget continues the work we started when...Read more
- FUTURE BRIGHT FOR VISITOR ECONOMY Territory Visitor Economy Strategy 2032 action plan sets out a clear course to achieve a thriving visitor economy of $3 billion by 2032. The strategy comes as the Territory attracts international attention with The New York Times ranking the Territory the top destination in Australia and 14th in the world in its Best Places to Go for 2026,...Read more
- GROWING CENTRAL AUSTRALIA Central Australia is often treated as a postcard backdrop, a place you visit, not a place you build from. In reality, it’s one of the most strategically important regions in the country: nearly 40% of the Territory’s land mass, home to more than 40,000 people and an economy anchored by tourism, mining and energy, pastoral production and...Read more
- SITZLER KEEPS FAITH WITH TERRITORIANS The overpass at the junction of Tiger Brennan Drive and Berrimah Road in Darwin will improve road safety, reduce traffic delays and enhance important freight transport links. Nearly 20,000 vehicles travel on Tiger Brennan Drive each day, commuting between Darwin, Palmerston and the rural areas. The busy intersection has been the scene of...Read more

- COUNTDOWN AT BEETALOO He is the new chief executive of Tamboran Resources, the largest acreage holder in the Northern Territory’s Beetaloo sub-basin, which holds enough gas to keep the lights on in the Northern Territory and the East Coast, along with massive exports to Asia, for at least 50 and probably for more than 100 years. The first gas expected to be...Read more
- CELEBRATING 50 YEARS OF DEADLY NAIDOC WEEK This support has reflected the company’s commitment to recognising and celebrating the cultures, histories and achievements of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, particularly the Larrakia, the Traditional Owners of the Darwin region. Larrakia Nation Aboriginal Corporation (LNAC) plays a vital role in representing Larrakia...Read more
- GAS TO GOLD The demand for reliable, domestically sourced energy has never been more critical for Australia. As global markets face volatility, the need to strengthen sovereign energy capacity is firmly in focus. At the same time, surging global demand – driven by the rapidly expanding middle class in China, India and South-East Asia –...Read more
Primary Industry
- THE TEAM THAT KEEP OUR FISHING HEALTHY While many of the Territory’s fish stocks remain healthy and sustainably managed, others are facing increasing pressure. Golden snapper in the Greater Darwin region, for example, is now classified as depleted, sitting at 14 percent of “unfished” levels. These localised pressures highlight the complexity of managing shared...Read more
- BEEF REPORT Key points: Vietnam seeks emergency approval to import SAT-1 FMD vaccines as cross-border disease risk rises. Indonesian meat processors continue to lobby for their 2026 private beef quota to be restored from 30,000 to 180,000 tonnes. Sea freight stays under pressure, with Singapore bunker fuel at USD 850/mt still nearly...Read more
- A PEOPLE STORY They see it on a plate, in a butcher’s window, at a barbecue or on a family table at the end of a long day. But in the Northern Territory, beef begins a long way from the plate. It begins before sunrise, when the air is still crisp and the yards are starting to stir. It begins with dust on boots, helicopters overhead, kids...Read more
- BENEFITS OF BEEF Reliable access to affordable protein underpins social stability, economic participation and political confidence. When supply chains are strong, communities are resilient. When they fracture, pressure builds – in households, in markets and across borders. Northern Australia sits closer to Jakarta than to Canberra. This geography...Read more

The building “flies” out from the Waterfront over the sea – a representation of the ancestral Dreamtime bird that protects Larrakia land. The $45 million centre, which was designed by Darwin-based Rossi Architects in collaboration with Alice Springs-based Susan...Read more
- AFFORDABLE HOUSING IS INFRASTRUCTURE For decades, governments have understood that roads, ports, power stations and telecommunications networks drive economic growth. But housing was not seen as part of that productivity picture. Today our economy’s growth is being impacted by insufficient housing. The Northern Territory has workforce shortages across health, education,...Read more
- THE TERRITORY – WHERE BIG IDEAS COME TO LIFE With globally significant sectors, including energy, critical minerals, marine services and enabling infrastructure, reaching commercial acceleration, the summit will showcase the scale of opportunity transforming the Territory and attracting intensifying investor interest from Australia, Asia and other international markets.

VINCENT LINGIARI ART AWARD 2021 WINNER GRACE...Read more
- PROUD TO BE TIWI Historian Peter Forrest has written that the Tiwi are “arguably Australia’s most intact Aboriginal group. Certainly, they retain their fiercely possessive attitude toward their land and their culture, and they have a resolute determination to maintain controls over those essentials of Tiwi integrity.” Today the Tiwi people face...Read more
- 50 YEARS OF LAND RIGHTS IN THE NT But when the Australian Government excised more than 380 square kilometres of Arnhem Land in 1963 to make way for the Nabalco bauxite mine, it sparked a momentum that would grow into the contemporary land rights movement and ultimately lead to the Aboriginal Land Rights (Northern Territory) Act 1976. December marks 50 years of the...Read more
