Damien Ryan, President Local Government Association of the Northern Territory Governance Training Governance training for elected members, local authority members and council staff is available on request from LGANT. The training is worthwhile because it helps people perform better in their roles or jobs, and needs to be ongoing and reinforced to be effective. LGANT contextualises its training modules for individual councils so it is more attuned to the particular needs of elected members and staff. Modules available include: Introduction to local government in the NT Roles of elected and local authority members Responsibilities of elected and local authority members Communication skills Community engagement Code of Conduct How to chair a meeting Meeting procedures How to read a financial report (Local Authorities) How to read council budgets ( Elected Members) Leadership and Teamwork skills LGANT’s role and services External training providers, Department of Housing and Community Development staff and consultants are also available to deliver training. Councils are encouraged to contact LGANT as soon as possible to secure dates for training. For further information on training, contact [email protected] or phone 8944 9674. Meeting procedures training Training in meeting procedures for new members and staff will be held for the Victoria Daly Regional Council in October 2017 and West Arnhem Regional Council in November 2017. Allan McGill, former CEO of the City of Darwin and the Department responsible for local government, will deliver the training. If your Council is interested in the training please contact [email protected] or phone 8944 9674. Expressions of Interest sought: 2018 Governance Essentials for Local Government LGANT is seeking expressions of interest from councils for the Governance Essentials for Local Government (non-accredited) program delivered by the Australian Institute of Company Directors. Designed to provide Councillors, Mayors and Executive Management a basic overview of their duties and responsibilities through interactive working sessions and relevant case studies, the two-day program covers four modules: 1. The role of the Council and Councillor, 2. Leadership: the Councillor's role, 3. Risk: issues for Councillors, and 4. Introduction for financial information for Councillors. The training is suitable for new councillors and staff, as well as those more experienced members who could benefit from refresher training. LGANT has received a number of requests about this course and if there is sufficient interest, LGANT will endeavour to deliver the course in Darwin, Alice Springs and Katherine during February/March 2018. Each course will cater for up to 25 participants. LGANT is attempting to secure funding for these courses. If funding is not secured, councils will need to be prepared to meet the costs (approximately $30,000 per course regardless of participant numbers). Ideally each course would have the full 25 participants from multiple councils per region. LGANT requires commitment from councils by the end of October 2017. Dates and venues will be based on commitments from councils. For more information, email [email protected] or phone 89 44 9674.

Parap Pool and Shoal Bay Waste Management Facility Tour LGANT management, staff and friends recently toured the Parap Pool and Shoal Bay Waste Management facilities development. Luccio Cercarelli, General Manager Infrastructure at City of Darwin, guided the group around the Parap Pool construction site and explained the long term planning that took place for the international standard Olympic sized facility. It is due to be opened in early 2018, and is jointly funded by the Commonwealth and NT Governments with the City of Darwin. The City of Darwin is undertaking modern treatment of its leachates at the Shoal Bay Waste Management facility. This treatment will improve water quality to a level where it can be used to irrigate open space at the site and encourage native vegetation. It is not unlike those used on mines sites.

The facility will be located at Wickham Point on the Middle Arm Peninsula adjacent to Darwin Harbour near Darwin, NT. The proposed project will include gas liquefication, storage and marine loading facilities and a dedicated fleet of ships to transport LNG product. A subsea pipeline supplying natural gas from the Bayu-Undan field to Wickham Point and a similar, but smaller 3 MTPA LNG plant were the subject of a detailed Environmental Impact Assessment process and received approval from Commonwealth and Northern Territory Environment Ministers during 1998. The environmental assessment of the expanded LNG facility is being conducted at the Public Environmental Report (PER) level of the Northern Territory Environmental Assessment Act and the Commonwealth Environmental Protection (Impact of Proposals) Act. The draft PER describes the expanded LNG facility with particular emphasis on its differences from the previously approved LNG facility and addresses the potential environmental impacts and mitigation measures associated with the project.

  • Northern Territory Government Response to the Senate Inquiry Into Regional Inequality in Australia

    Northern Territory Government Response to the Senate Inquiry Into Regional Inequality in Australia

    Northern Territory Government Response to the Senate Inquiry into Regional Inequality in Australia 1. Background and context On 14 February 2018, the Senate requested that the Senate Economics References Committee conduct an inquiry into and report on the indicators of, and impact of, regional inequality in Australia. 2. Introduction The Northern Territory has a geographically dispersed and isolated population base. Three quarters of the population reside in the Territory's five regional centres (Darwin, Nhulunbuy, Katherine, Tennant Creek and Alice Springs), which also serve as vital supply and service bases for smaller remote communities. The majority of Territorians live in Darwin and the satellite city of Palmerston and surrounds (the current population of Darwin is 143 6291), and the Central Australia region (including Alice Springs) is the second most populated area. The remainder of the population lives in Katherine, Tennant Creek and the coastal town of Nhulunbuy or in the hundreds of other small remote outstations and homelands throughout the Northern Territory. The Northern Territory economy is largely cyclical and project-based, and prone to volatility, particularly once transition from investment to less labour intensive operational phases of major projects occurs. The short-term nature of construction employment associated with major projects causes the Northern Territory to experience volatile population growth - population surges during the construction phase of major projects and workers (and their families) often leave the Northern Territory once highly paid project-related construction jobs finish. The government sector, mining and manufacturing and construction play a large role in the Northern Territory economy, contributing 50.6 per cent collectively to the Territory economy and 56.9 per cent of employment in 2015-16.
