NT Infrastructure Plan and Pipeline 2023

The NT Infrastructure Plan and Pipeline 2023 provides a detailed roadmap to the investments that will enact Government’s vision of a sustainable and
diverse $40 billion economy by 2030. The Plan and Pipeline identifies infrastructure that is needed to support both economic and population growth.

In June 2022, Infrastructure NT released the first NT Infrastructure Plan and Pipeline – a transitional document with further improvements made with each ongoing, annual release of the document.

The first edition moved from a sector based approach to a place-based approach. It clarified which projects are proposed and which ones are funded, and introduced an ecosystems approach.

The NT Infrastructure Plan and Pipeline 2023 has been significantly informed by the findings of the NT Infrastructure Audit 2023, which provides a strong evidence base to guide future infrastructure investment decision making.

Progress on initial implementation pathways identified in the Plan and Pipeline 2022 are now reported, showing status of achieved, in progress or ongoing. A considerable number of new implementation pathways have been included, following both the review and update of the Plan and Pipeline and completion of the Infrastructure Audit 2023. These pathways are identified as ‘new’ to the Plan and Pipeline 2023 and further identified where work is already in progress.

These changes bring a new level of accountability and a more robust approach to the Plan and Pipeline series.

The Plan and Pipeline has adopted the infrastructure investment prioritisation framework proposed in the NT Infrastructure Audit 2023 and considered implementation pathways against ‘reform’, ‘better or different use’, ‘improve existing’, or ‘new’ infrastructure options to inform infrastructure planning and investment decision making.

The NT Infrastructure Plan and Pipeline will be updated annually to align with budget processes and provide implementation pathways to achieve and respond to changing conditions, challenges and opportunities.

Interactive data

The Infrastructure Plan and Pipeline table data underpins the Interactive Business Intelligence dashboard in a visual, online, model.

The underpinning information is provided to enable industry and the community to undertake further analysis. Data may be analysed and reproduced (with attribution).

The Plan data is published on the NT Government Open Data Portal .

The following rules have been utilised to develop the dashboard:

Territory-wide projects (with undefined locations) are located on the map as points listed on the NT/WA boarder of the map (cascading down the page for visibility).
Territory-wide projects (with defined locations) are located on the map in one of the nominated locations.
Regional projects (with more than one defined location) are attached to one community within the primary region.
Estimates are displayed $m (millions), if known.
Confidential or TBA (to be announced) estimates are displayed as dots “●”. Dots will show in the source data, but display as blanks in the interactive dashboard. “●” are calculated as $0 within the interactive display totals.
GPS locations have been manually added to each project. These are for display purposes only, and do not indicate the exact location of a project.
