Northern Australia policy will encourage growthThe Property Council of Australia welcomes the release today of the Federal Government’s White Paper on Developing Northern Australia.Property Council NT Director Ruth Palmer said the paper contains a range of practical and innovative policies with the potential to dramatically boost investment in the top end.”Investments in infrastructure for the NT are particularly welcome, along with substantial road upgrades,” Ms Palmer said.”The NT is growing and these investments are crucial if we are to ensure that growth is smart, well-connected and highly productive.”Streamlining the recognition of occupational licenses from other jurisdictions will substantially improve labour force mobility and help create jobs.”In particular we welcome the push for simpler and more secure land arrangements, which will benefit the community, native title holders and business. “The investment forum to be held in Darwin at the end of this year will be an excellent opportunity to bring investors and business together to identify and act on new opportunities.”Media contact: Ruth Palmer | M 04 428 314 | E [email protected]
