NT Government: Budget to outlay $2.24bn for NT Infrastructure

07 May 2023 10:19 AM | Stephanie Berlin (Administrator)

The Northern Territory Government continues to pave the way in improving our roads and transport infrastructure with the most significant investment in the Territory’s history.  

Budget 2023 showcases our 2023-24 road and transport infrastructure program, which runs in partnership with the Australian Government. It will see an investment of $2.24 billion for roads, aerodromes, jetties and barge landings.

Some of the key upgrading and sealing of roads includes:

- Gas industry roads - $214.8 million

- Tanami Road - $178.1 million

- Central Arnhem Road $165.6 million

- Buntine Highway - $114 million

- Carpentaria Highway - $90.4 million

- Tiwi Islands road -$69.3 million

- Kakadu National Park roads - $67.3 million

- Port Keats Road $60.2 million

- Outback Way - $42 million

- Arnhem Highway - $10.7 million

Budget 2023 will also continue to invest in the delivery of the Berrimah Road and Tiger Brennan Overpass with a commitment of $108 million.

The new $415 million NT Strategic Roads Package was announced in 2022, with the Australian Government committing $332 million and the Northern Territory Government contributing $83 million. Works are commencing with a tender already released for construction of the Santa Teresa Road early package. This funding will also see the Mereenie Loop sealed and access to Maningrida, Ramingining and the Milingimbi mainland barge ramps improved.

Sealing Territory roads is a priority for our Government to unlock economic opportunities, whether that’s for pastoralists, miners, tourists or for locals. We want all Territorians to travel safely on our roads.

Quote attributable to Treasurer and Minister for Infrastructure, Planning & Logistics, Eva Lawler:

“Better roads across the Territory means a better economy, it means safer trips to work, and it means more reliable access for regional communities.

“The Territory is leading the way in the roads and transport infrastructure sector and this is backed up by the continuous support from the Commonwealth.

“This is a significant announcement which will enable major growth right across the Territory and is another step towards our goal of a $40 billion economy by 2030.”
