Territory Coordinator Bill passes Parliament

19 Mar 2025 9:05 AM | Anonymous

The Finocchiaro CLP Government has early this morning passed the Territory Coordinator Bill in Parliament, delivering on its commitment to streamline decision-making and ensure a more coordinated response to supporting significant and complex developments in the Territory.

Chief Minister Lia Finocchiaro welcomed the passage of the Bill, highlighting its significance in re-defining the way business is done in the Northern Territory.

“This Bill strengthens our ability to deliver economic growth, attract investment, and streamline processes. It ensures we have the right structures in place to drive significant economic development opportunities efficiently and with certainty,” said Mrs Finocchiaro.

The Territory Coordinator will work closely with government agencies, industry, and key stakeholders to prioritise projects, provide expert advice, and ensure the Territory remains competitive on a national and global stage.

"Whether it’s coordinating essential infrastructure, identifying areas within the Territory for development or supporting significant projects, this role ensures we have the necessary framework to get things done efficiently," said Mrs Finocchiaro.

Mrs Finocchiaro also acknowledged the extensive community engagement undertaken during the consultation period.

“I’d like to thank interim Territory Coordinator Stuart Knowles and my department for their dedication," she said.

"Throughout the process, 321 participants attended six Community Information Forums, 559 written submissions were received, and 89 meetings were held with 267 individuals representing key sectors.”

The Bill was submitted to the Scrutiny Committee, a key accountability measure reinstated by the CLP after being scrapped by Labor.

It underwent rigorous consultation with the community industry, community groups, and key stakeholders to ensure it delivers real benefits for Territorians.

The passing of the Territory Coordinator Bill is a key component of the Finocchiaro CLP Government’s broader strategy to drive economic growth and reinforce the Territory’s commitment in rebuilding the economy and delivering action, certainty, and security for Territorians.
