Business
- Spotlight on Dr Dan Tyson As the CEO of Desert Knowledge Australia in Alice Springs since 2019, Dan brings a wealth of experience to his role, and furthers the DIH’s commitment to provide and support dedicated resources in Alice Springs. From 2017 - 2019, Dan was CEO of Aboriginal community-controlled Sunrise Health Service Aboriginal Corporation based in Katherine....Read more
- WE’RE OPEN FOR BUSINESS Traditional Owners want to generate the wealth needed to pay for social, cultural and job-creation programs when the bauxite mine on the Gove Peninsula closes. The refinery shut down eight years ago and the mine is scheduled to cease operation in 2043. But global resources company Rio Tinto has said that mining could stop as early as...Read more
- TRAINING PAYS OFF Andy Creber was a respected 40-year-old auto-electrician when he decided to go “back to school” and become an apprentice diesel fitter. He is now a dual tradesman and leading hand at Hastings Deering in Darwin. Andy received strong support from the company and his partner Tina, but “starting at the bottom again” was still...Read more
- NT STANDS AGAINST ANTI-CHINA TIRADE The Northern Territory community is unique in many ways. Alone among all the states and territories, the NT does not have a Chinatown. That is unique because it underlines the nature of the NT connection with China and the China diaspora. Darwin did have a Chinatown before the Second World War and in many ways it formed the heart of the...Read more

- CAPTURING POWER The Northern Territory is ready to play a key part in the development of innovative energy technology in Australia. An innovative scientific and engineering trial has the potential to lead to the development of a green hydrogen energy industry in the Northern Territory. The trial follows the NT being included in a new nationwide...Read more
- GAS HUB BEGINS TO TAKE SHAPE The vision has three elements – gas production going ahead at Beetaloo Basin, the development of manufacturing precinct on the outskirts of Darwin and the laying of a 1000-kilometre utilities corridor across the Territory Outback. It is being seen as one of the most exciting economic development plans in Territory history. Financial...Read more
- SANTOS TO POWER THE NORTH Santos Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer Kevin Gallagher recently outlined Santos’ 2021 Northern Territory plans at Chief Minister Michael Gunner’s 2021 Year Ahead speech.

- MINE GIVEN GO AHEAD In a significant boost for the NT economy and prospects for local jobs, the Territory Government has granted final approval to Core Lithium to commence development of its new mine in the Top End. The Finniss project, 35 kilometres west of Berry Springs, is a proposed open-cut lithium mine. It is the first lithium mine to be approved outside...Read more

- MEETING THE CHALLENGES AND RECOGNISING THE BRILLIANCE People underestimate the ability of Northern Territory industry. They question its capability to deliver national and international standard projects. But the fact remains we live and work in some of the most difficult terrains in the country and, therefore, we have finely skilled operators who deliver. Each year, the Civil Contractors...Read more
- STRONG DOMESTIC TOURISM PROJECTED BUT THERE’S STILL A COVID IMPACT Twelve months on from the start of the covid-19 pandemic all projections indicate we are heading for a strong domestic tourism dry season, especially in the Top End. Our reverse seasonality means that there is nowhere better to be during the miserable southern winter than the Northern Territory. It does not mean all the Territory will...Read more
- WE SERVICE WHAT WE SELL Farmworld does a lot more than sell world-class agricultural machinery and equipment. It has also built up a reputation for superb after-sales service. The company’s motto is: We service what we sell. Director David “Sando” Sanderson says: “We don’t just sell to customers and forget about it, expecting them to go elsewhere for...Read more

- BEEF REPORT INDONESIA SLAUGHTER STEERS $4.38KG LIVE WEIGHT (RP10,970 = $1AUD) Darwin’s feeder steer prices have hit a new all-time high with the rate sitting at $4.30kg live weight with prices as high as $4.40 reported for small numbers. If these high prices weren’t causing enough pain for exporters, the Australian Government has just...Read more

- AIRPORT BOOSTS EXPORT MARKET Territorians have always known that we have world-class food to export, especially mangoes and seafood. But the problem has always been getting it to market on time and for a good price. A new state-of-the-art freight and cold storage hub at Darwin International Airport will revolutionise the export of high-end products. “It’s a...Read more

- PLAY TO WIN We all know it is almost impossible to win any game from the sidelines. Crowds cheer and coaches pull levers, but it is players that execute and that is why they get to lift the cup. One of the biggest games going around right now is influencing economic development across North Australia. What happens next will play out in shaping...Read more

Today’s playspaces are unique, fun, functional, energetic learning environments with custom-made, colourful pieces that add excitement to outdoor activities. Playspaces introduce innovation, inspiration and excitement to any child’s playtime. Hardy...Read more
- CARLEY SCOTT REACHING FOR THE STARS So, it’s appropriate that the future of Australia’s space industry lies on Aboriginal land. And it’s doubly appropriate that a dynamic woman who spent several happy years living and working in Nhulunbuy should be heading one of the most exciting ventures in the country. Carley Scott is chief executive officer of Equatorial Launch...Read more
- A PRINCIPAL WITH PURPOSE Newly-appointed principal Andrew McGregor has nestled in at Darwin’s Haileybury Rendall School with a magnificent target – to become the best school in Northern Australia. “We want to be a great internationally recognised school,” he says. “But to be great, you have to do great things.” And the mathematician knows that starts...Read more

- MELANIE’S TAKING ON NEW HEIGHTS Life changed for then 23-year-old Melanie Lewis in 2003. She had followed a navy boy to Darwin. “But instead, I fell in love with the town, the weather – I hate the cold – the fabulously friendly people and the opportunities afforded me here.” Melanie is used to being the brand of her properties and is now moving up in the...Read more
- FOR THE LOVE OF LAKSA About 3000 people attended the Laksa Festival in Darwin in late November. And 3600 downloaded a special Food Tour app and voted for what they considered the best of 69 featured dishes to determine the People’s Choice winner on festival day. Festival organisers secretly sent out a team of “ninjas” to taste the dishes to determine the top...Read more
- PRESERVE, PROMOTE AND PROTECT “Prohibiting tourists isn’t the answer. Education and understanding the creatures and their environment is,” says barefooted Pat “Croc Dundee” Chappell. For the past seven years, Pat has been educating people about how to preserve, promote and protect crocodiles and other creatures that inhabit the Adelaide River ecosystem, and what...Read more
- TOURISM TAKES RECOVERY ROAD The $4 million package will help improve wayside inns and roadhouses as the NT grows the all-important tourism drive market. Caravan parks may apply if they meet the eligibility criteria. It closes on 14 January 2021 and recipients will be confirmed in February-March. The grant program will help businesses carry out infrastructure projects...Read more

- HYDROGEN TECHNOLOGY The world is on a mission towards decarbonisation and looking towards Australia as the source of imports. New hydrogen technologies and our natural advantages have the potential to place the Northern Territory in a globally competitive position to be a leading exporter of renewable energy.

- JEMENA’S MAN BUILDING TRUST Jemena’s new NT Corporate Development Manager has lived and worked in regional Australia for more than three decades and if the job was not based in Darwin, he was prepared to watch the opportunity pass by. So passionate about the decentralisation of governance to regional areas, Brendan Bourke, made the decision to leave Western Australia...Read more
- PERFECTLY PLACED As a regional jurisdiction, the experience of the Northern Territory supply chain is often underestimated. While our size and population may be deceiving, this understated capability may just be our trump card in the race to attract investment. While capacity has been through ebbs and flows with fluctuating demand, the truth is, there...Read more
- BEEF REPORT INDONESIA SLAUGHTER STEERS $4.17KG LIVE WEIGHT (RP10,350 = $1AUD) Slaughter cattle prices have continued to rise with the new indicator rate at Rp43,000 per kg live weight for slaughter steers.
