Australia's Northern Territory extends from the tropical waters of the Arafura Sea in the north to the Simpson Desert in Central Australia, covering one-sixth of the country's land-mass.
With a population of 200 000, the Northern Territory has a clean environment, pristine oceans and friendly communities. It combines a relaxed lifestyle with an economic climate that is ideal for investment and business development.
Australia's Northern Territory has a number of significant economic drivers that will underpin its continued growth: the AustralAsia Trade Route, created with the completion of the AustralAsia Railway between Adelaide in South Australia and Darwin in the Northern Territory; gas and related investment; mining; agribusiness; tourism and defence support. Emerging industries such as knowledge and innovation will further boost the Northern Territory's economy.
The Northern Territory is closer to Asia than to the centres of southern Australia, making it Australia's Asian Gateway. It has a progressive, development-oriented government and offers a range of business and investment opportunities. The capital city, Darwin, is modern and sophisticated with a vibrant, multicultural population and long-standing cultural and trading links in the Asia Pacific region.
A shining example of how people from diverse backgrounds can live happily alongside one another, the Northern Territory is home to more than 100 nationalities.
The Northern Territory's population is the most youthful in Australia, and has the largest proportion under 15 years of age and the smallest proportion aged 65 and over. The median age of residents of the Northern Territory is 30.3 years, almost six years younger than the national median age.
Australia's Northern Territory offers a way of life unlike any other, with outstanding opportunities for families, individuals and business. |
