East Arm businesses invited to Northern Marine Complex information session
Businesses and landowners in East Arm are invited to attend an on-site information session to hear about the next phase of development for the Northern Marine Complex.
Recently designated a Territory Development Area, the Northern Marine Complex will bring together the Darwin Ship Lift and Marine Industry Park into a single, coordinated maritime precinct at East Arm.
Spanning 246 hectares with road, rail and sea access, the precinct is designed to strengthen Darwin’s role as a strategic marine services hub supporting defence sustainment, offshore energy servicing, vessel maintenance and logistics.
By co-locating marine services, fabrication, engineering and logistics alongside the Ship Lift, the Northern Marine Complex will support the growth of a local industrial ecosystem and create long-term skilled jobs for Territorians while reinforcing the Territory’s position as a gateway for marine services in Northern Australia.
Information session
Territory Coordinator Stuart Knowles will host an on-site information session for East Arm businesses and landowners to provide an update on the Northern Marine Complex and the implications of the Territory Development Area designation.
The session will cover:
- What the designation means for local industry.
- Progress on the Darwin Ship Lift and Marine Industry Park.
- Next steps in the precinct’s planning and development.
Date: Wednesday 18 March
Time: 5.30pm
Location: East Arm Boat Ramp carpark
