On 12 February 2025, the Northern Territory Government introduced the Territory Coordinator Bill 2025 to the NT Legislative Assembly.
The Bill proposes to create the Territory Coordinator who would be a non-elected official who works with the NT Minister for the Territory Coordinator (currently the Chief Minister), government agencies and companies to coordinate and consolidate project approval processes.
The Bill has been referred to the Legislative Scrutiny Committee for consideration, with public submissions due to the Committee by close of business on 19 February 2025. Further details and materials are available here. You can send submissions to the Legislative Scrutiny Committee, GPO Box 3721, DARWIN NT 0801 or by email to [email protected].
EDO’s Northern Territory Team reviewed and analysed the Bill and prepared a Briefing Note comparing the Bill with the Draft Bill which was previously released for public consultation.
