Future NT 2025: Tivan, CDU, Tamboran Resources, Santos, Darwin Port, NT Government, Sitzler partner for Mindil Beach Casino Resort event
As the Northern Territory enters a new era under new leadership, the government has affirmed it is focused on rebuilding the economy – and private investment needs to play an integral role in this.
The NT Government has outlined a plan for economic recovery – the Rebuilding the Economy Strategy 2025-2028 – which includes population and workforce growth targets, cutting red tape to ensure investor confidence and strengthening the Northern Territory's role in national economic growth, energy security and defence.
For the fourth year, the NT News' annual Future Northern Territory advocacy program returns this month and will interrogate how the government's strategy is progressing, while also applying an aspirational lens to encourage long term vision and planning to ensure a prosperous NT for generations to come.
While the government's strategy for the NT economy is important, private investment is pivotal to growth.
This year the NT News is proud to partner with leading businesses working to grow the Territory including Tivan Limited, Charles Darwin University, Tamboran Resources, Santos and Darwin Port, as major partners alongside NT Government.
Also joining this year's program are minor partners Airport Development Group and Sitzler.
Supporting partner Mindil Beach Casino Resort will once again host the premier economic event in its popular pavilion venue.
Content themes for the 2025 Future NT campaign include defence, energy, education, tourism, sport and workforce growth, with a call for leaders to set a bold vision for the decades ahead.
Speakers at this year's event include NT Chief Minister Lia Finocchiaro, nationally renowned social researcher and demographer Mark McCrindle, Tivan Limited executive chairman Grant Wilson, Darwin Port CEO Peter Dummett, CDU Deputy Vice Chancellor Research and Community Connection Dr Steve Rogers, and NT Department of Mining and Energy CEO Alister Trier, with more speakers to be announced soon.
Tickets are on sale now for the event which will be held from 11.30am on Friday, July 18.
