Business
- WHEN A LITTLE MEANS A LOT They have worked harder, thought smarter and come up with innovative ideas to survive the pandemic. One theme has run through it all: if you want the business you appreciate today to be here tomorrow, buy local. A Territory Government campaign – aimed at encouraging Territorians to do everything from eating out a little more often to...Read more
- THAT’S MY WATER! The terrain, widespread and diverse customer base, and water source challenges are compounded by the fact Territorians are Australia’s heaviest water users – 57 percent goes on gardens and 12 percent is lost through leaks. Manager Water Demand Jethro Laidlaw believes the heavy use is often due to a perception among some people that water...Read more
- GAS FUTURE BRIGHT The INPEX-operated plant was able to operate safely and efficiently. INPEX Northern Territory General Manager Roland Houareau says: “We have worked closely with our local contractors during the past few months and together we managed the situation well.” The plant is enormously important to the Territory economy. At peak, INPEX’s Bladin...Read more
- INPEX SUBBIES THRIVE The work has enabled the contractors to not only survive but thrive – and employ hundreds of staff, most of them born and bred in the Territory. Many companies have taken on local apprentices on the back of long-term work scopes and, for some, INPEX provides a significant portion of their base work. Gemma Mackett of PCM, a Territory...Read more
Major Projects
- REBUILDING THE TERRITORY A team headed by co-chairs Andrew Liveris and Paul Henderson are hard at work mapping a road to prosperity. Chief Minister Michael Gunner wants their first report on his desk by the end of July. The Territory Government wants to turn the once-in-a-century crisis into a once-in-a-century opportunity for economic recovery, growth and...Read more
- GATEWAY TO PROSPERITY Kevin Peters, chief executive of the Industry Capability Network NT, says Territory and Federal government stimulus packages were a “fantastic” help during the coronavirus lockdown. But he says: “There were projects underway before the pandemic – and these are still progressing.” ICN is the key link between companies that are...Read more
- TRANSFORMING KATHERINE “The square’s natural prominence will create green space for the community to relax and socialise while also benefiting the surrounding businesses,” says Katherine Mayor Fay Miller. “It will totally transform the area, adding colour and vitality to the CBD.” Designed by Darwin architects, the Ashford Group, the focus is on shade,...Read more
- INNOVATION WAY FORWARD AT DARWIN LNG One of those areas is in relation to the fast and accessible manufacturing of crucial parts required by Australia’s energy resources sector. Through a partnership with Charles Darwin University (CDU), NERA (National Energy Resources Australia) and technology developer SPEE3D, Darwin LNG has been involved in a collaborative project to support a...Read more

- HARD WORK AT INPEX PAYS OFF So, when the the coronavirus pandemic started a few months ago, the company responded in a calm and well-planned way. The aim of the strategy was twofold: to keep personnel safe while maintaining the safe production and export of gas. INPEX employs about 500 workers at Bladin Point – most of them Territorians but also a few specialists who fly...Read more

- SWEETENER FOR MANGO ROADS The Northern Territory Government, in partnership with the Australian Government and Litchfield Council, have released a tender to upgrade and seal 15.2 kilometres of gravel roads. Improvements will support the Territory’s mango industry by reducing the risk of roads flooding during the wet season; making access between farms, packing sheds and...Read more

- MAKING A DIFFERENCE His Alice Springs-based company, GreenGlass Consulting, has trained dozens of Indigenous men and women since being founded in 2009. About 30 Aboriginal men and women have gained employment with the Yapa Crew at Newmont’s The Granites mine in the Tanami and about a dozen of them have successfully gained fulltime jobs with the mine. “Getting...Read more
- KEEPING WORKERS SAFE “No other provider has a system like ours,” says founder Emil Tastula. “It creates a safer work environment for people around the globe and can be custom configured to suit every operation.” USM’s life-saving equipment for mining and other hazardous industries has no boundaries. “Using Bluetooth-enabled technologies, we’ve...Read more
- COUNCIL EXCELS DURING CRISIS It is widely recognised that the council succeeded beyond most people’s imagining. The response to Covid-19 had several stages, including: • Keeping things going – staff getting on with their jobs as effectively as possible; • Doing things differently – delivering services in different ways; • Supporting our city – special...Read more
Education & Training
- OUR UNIVERSITY LEADS BY EXAMPLE About 1000 of the shields are to be delivered to Royal Darwin Hospital. The university’s initiative is another demonstration of how Territorians have, in many ways, set not just a national but global example of how to respond to the coronavirus crisis. Only a few cases of Covid-19 were diagnosed in the Territory; there was no community...Read more
- STAYING LOCAL Do I stay local or go south? These three Territorians are among many who chose to study locally at Charles Darwin University – and haven’t looked back. Max Stretton Darwin High School graduate and CDU law student Max Stretton was only two weeks away from going to university in Melbourne when he was subject to what he calls...Read more
- HOME ADVANTAGE Where does that leave year 12s when it comes to uni options for 2021? While some Territory teenagers head south for university, Charles Darwin University’s Director of Student Operations and Administration, Sam Jacob, says that staying local to study in 2021 has a lot going for it. “Existing relationships, whether with friends or family,...Read more
- COMMUNITY OF THE AIR Ten dedicated teachers have about 100 students spread across an area three times the size of Britain. But there is still a strong feeling that this is a close-knit community – drawn together by being so far apart. “It sounds strange, but we actually feel close to each other,” says principal Kerrie Russell. She loves the job. “It’s a...Read more
Travel
- GREAT EXPERIENCE “We thought we had all bases covered with tourism in the dry season and a national touring show during the Territory’s wet season. Never in our wildest dreams had we factored in a total nationwide lockdown,” says founders Tom and Annabel Curtain. With numerous animals to feed daily and keeping staff employed, they’ve scarcely...Read more
- TERRITORY’S SECRET GEM Ever since Katherine was named by explorer John McDouall Stuart in 1862, it has attracted a range of people that have much in common — they’re full of energy, passionate and optimistic about their region and its bright future. Through the diversity and struggles of the Second World War, four devastating floods (1957, 1974, 1998 and 2006)...Read more
- BEN’S OASIS Since taking ownership, Ben Reichstein has upgraded the Oasis Tourist Park, which sits in a beautiful tropical setting just off the Stuart Highway in Virginia, on the outskirts of Darwin. The location – a sanctuary close to Darwin and on the road to Kakadu and Litchfield national parks – coupled with great facilities and a friendly...Read more
- BIKING AND BEER A MATCH MADE IN ALICE Two Alice Springs companies are offering both as part of an innovative package born out of the coronavirus crisis. Outback Cycling and Alice Springs Brewery have got together to organise a bike ride to one of the most remote breweries in the world – where guests will be given a tour and be able to tuck into pizza amid good company. “There...Read more

- TRADING BEYOND THE HEADLINES Some in Australia seem keen to disengage from China, but this disengagement may also mean disengagement from protocols, procedures and evolving cross-border trade transaction processes within the broader Asian region and not just limited to China. These are issues NT export businesses and government need to consider because they impact on our...Read more
- BOUNTIFUL BUSINESS A place where anything is possible. The NT is an ethnic melting pot that brings out the best in everyone. No one asks where you’re from; they ask what you do. Rolling up your sleeves and giving things a go is applauded and rewarded. The NT is where ambition, hard work and drive go hand-in-hand with a vibrant tropical lifestyle. It’s where...Read more

- MORE THAN WINE AND MEAT MATE With a focus on the short-term daily headlines, it’s easy to forget the need for better understanding of the long-term business and trade consequences for the Northern Territory. The depth of disruption is greater than a decline in tourism, both domestic and international, would suggest. How we effectively rebuild depends on how well we...Read more
