The Department of Infrastructure, Planning and Logistics was established by the Northern Territory Government on September 12, 2016.
The government created the department to bring together many of the key functions that drive land use, infrastructure and transport.
These include the development, planning, construction and maintenance of government infrastructure and roads, and transport safety, policy, strategy and compliance.
The department has one minister, one chief executive and operates in more than seven locations in the Northern Territory.
The department plays a lead role in planning, constructing and maintaining government infrastructure across the Northern Territory.
The department provides strategic advice and policy on a whole-of-government basis for infrastructure planning, building sustainability issues, energy management and capital works project definition, to ensure built assets are fit for purpose and consider life cycle costs.
