3rd Annual Northern Territory Major Projects Conference 2012
30-31 October 2012, Darwin Convention Centre, Darwin, NT

The 3rd Annual NT Major Projects Conference, will be held on the 30th and 31st of October at the Darwin Convention Centre. This event continues to be the largest major projects and infrastructure conference in the state, attracting over 300 delegates annually.
 
Since 2001, infrastructure spending in the Northern Territory has grown by 252% and injected $10 billion into building the Territory and stimulating the economy. The Northern Territory continues to be the engine room for mining projects in Australia and is undergoing an unprecedented level of expansion as a major international gas hub and key trade gateway to Asia. Budget 2012 delivers $1.3 billion over 5 years on infrastructure. This, along with investments made from the private sector, ensures that the opportunities to leverage off developments, whether proposed, ongoing or recently completed, are greater than ever and the construction boom is showing no signs of slowing down.

The conference agenda for the 2012 Conference will be live soon!
