    No. 773 LEGISLATIVE ASSEMBLY OF THE NORTHERN TERRITORY WRITTEN QUESTION Mr Higgins the Minister for Northern Australia: Infrastructure Priority List 1. Please advise whether any submissions have been made to Infrastructure Australia for their Infrastructure Priority List. If so, please provide a list of those projects. Five ‘nationally significant’ projects are currently in varying stages with Infrastructure Australia. To Infrastructure Australia for evaluation: Sealing the Central Arnhem Road This project provides an opportunity to unlock the economic potential of the East Arnhem region, improve productivity, reduce road closures and weight restrictions, and represents a tangible opportunity to work towards closing the gap in Aboriginal disadvantage through increased employment, improved access to communities, safety and the potential for enhanced service delivery models. Beef Roads This project assists in improving productivity and economic growth through improving the condition of the Territory’s major freight routes, improving safety outcomes, reducing closures and weight restrictions, and reducing damage to vehicles and impact on livestock. For consideration: Darwin Region Water Supply The project is currently a Stage 1 initiative on the Infrastructure Priority List. The Department of Trade, Business and Innovation has engaged PricewaterhouseCoopers to undertake a Stage 2 assessment of options which is expected to be completed in mid-2020. The assessment will identify the preferred options to investigate further. A Stage 3 submission (Detailed Business Case) to determine the preferred solution will be developed in 2020-21. Infrastructure to support onshore gas production and manufacturing The Department of Infrastructure, Planning and Logistics has engaged GHD to prepare a submission to Infrastructure Australia.
