NT government releases Chan Building tender

The Northern Territory government has released the tender for the development and construction of the Chan Building.

Minister for Infrastructure, Peter Chandler, said the building will be redeveloped for the purpose of displaying art.  

“The government has committed funds towards the Chan redevelopment project,” said Chandler.  

“This will be a major infrastructure project for Darwin which is unique because of its purpose.”

The $18.3 million project will repurpose the Chan Building into a modern, dedicated visual art gallery.

Minister for Arts and Museums, Gary Higgins, said the project would provide amazing benefits for the community.

“This is a wonderfully exciting and unique project for the community and for everyone to support and be part of – a once in a lifetime opportunity!” Higgins said.

“The Board of MAGNT is also seeking important private sector and philanthropic supporters to engage with this pivotal time of growth for the Territory’s cultural identity.”

The project is being developed in partnership with the Museum and Art Gallery of the Northern Territory.

DKJ and FKM Architects have been awarded the tender for the design of the building.
