Toolkit released for commercial tourism developments in Northern Territory Parks and Reserves

Toolkit released for commercial tourism developments in Northern Territory Parks and Reserves
March 22, 2024

Northern Territory Department of Environment, Parks and Water Security has created a ‘Framework and Investment Toolkit’ to help inform potential investors of the steps and stages to obtain approval for proposed development of tourism experiences.

There is an increasing demand for developers to work with parks to provide nature-based experiences and opportunities in NT parks and reserves.

The Development Proposals on NT Parks and Reserves Policy sets out the processes and considerations for proponents seeking to develop on the NT Parks estate.

This includes joint managed parks, and concepts that have not been sought through standard processes such as Expression of Interest or sponsorship programs.

Dr Aggie Wegner, Senior Director Commercial & Community Partnerships notes “The Parks and Wildlife Commission is dedicated to conserving the natural and cultural values of parks and reserves for public benefit while also supporting high quality nature and cultural based tourism and recreation.

“The policy provides the authorising environment and framework for dealing with proponents during project development on a first come first serve basis.”

This Policy and Toolkit will support the balance between investment and conservation to ensure the Territory remains a ‘must see’ and ‘must return to’ destination.

To download the toolkit and associated guidelines go to nt.gov.au/parks/permits-for-parks/apply-for-the-use-and-development-of-land
