The Infrastructure, Investment and Contracts division is responsible for delivering the NT’s infrastructure program, procurement, programming capital works and coordinating minor works, repairs and maintenance for NT Government assets.

Lands and Planning

The Lands and Planning division provides strategic and long-term integrated land and infrastructure planning that supports community needs, sustainable economic development and future growth across the NT.

The division captures, manages and provides access to geospatial data and land-related information for the NT. It provides a range of regulatory and customer services in relation to land and the built environment, including administrative support for a number of statutory boards.

It delivers a transport system that is safe, efficient, sustainable, innovative, equitable and economical.

The division is the NT Government’s central transport authority responsible for the NT’s transport system from design, development and management of our transport infrastructure to regulation and licensing of the vehicles and people that use our transport networks.
