Feds pave new roads to Beetaloo investment

THE FEDERAL government has announced a new A$217 million package to upgrade roads to make the Beetaloo Sub-basin more accessible for the oil and gas industry.

On Thursday, deputy prime minister Mick McCormack and minister for resources Keith Pitt unveiled the government's Northern Territory Gas Industry Roads Upgrades program.

The program allocates $217 million of taxpayer funds to upgrade a corridor of roads including the Gorrie Dry Creek Road, Buchanan Highway, Western Creek Road, and other key paths to the Beetaloo region.

The government said the infrastructure would create crucial supply chains to attract gas development.

"The Basin has the potential to transform the Northern Territory's economy. The government's investment in roads and other supporting infrastructure will help unlock these benefits as well as supporting job opportunities for locals," Pitt said.
