NT Parks Masterplan 2023-2053

The NT Parks Masterplan 2023-53 sets out the plan for the next 30 years to ensure the diversity and integrity of the Territory’s natural and cultural heritage remain intact.

It explains how the ways we will enhance visitor enjoyment and community engagement, as well as exploring new business and economic opportunities in partnership with Traditional Owners.

The Masterplan outlines the strategic objectives for management over nine themes:

1. Natural Biodiversity values
2. Living cultural values and heritage
3. Joint management in partnership with traditional owners
4. Tourism
5. Recreational futures
6. Aboriginal economic development
7. Partnerships
8. Growing the estate
9. Parks access

The masterplan was developed through extensive consultation with our stakeholders, Joint Management Partners and Territorians.

NT Parks 10 Year Activation Plan 2023 - 2033

An important part of the master planning process was to develop the 10 Year Activation Plan.

The Activation plan sets out the projects and infrastructure works that will support the masterplan over the next 10 years.

These actions are aligned to the nine masterplan themes and provide expected timeframes.

The Activation Plan will be reviewed every 3 years with any new projects and developments included as a rolling program.

A number of projects on joint managed parks have not been listed in the Activation Plan themes until the support of Traditional Owners on joint managed parks is sought.
