Northern Territory Administrator, Hugh Heggie, has announced the appointment of Stuart Knowles as the Territory Coordinator.
Mr Knowles (pictured) has been acting in the role since November last year.
Chief Minister, Lia Finocchiaro said Mr Knowles’ appointment as Territory Coordinator for four years meant the government could focus on delivering its promise to rebuild the economy.
“Stuart has extensive experience across both private and public sectors and brings a wealth of local knowledge through his deep connections and understanding of the Northern Territory’s unique challenges and opportunities,” she said.
“In our year of action, certainty and security we are charging ahead with rebuilding the economy and the Territory Coordinator has a crucial role to play.”
In March, the Government passed the Territory Coordinator Bill in Parliament.
“The Territory Coordinator strengthens our ability to deliver economic growth, attract investment, and streamline processes,” said Mrs Finocchiaro.
The Territory Coordinator will work closely with government agencies, industry, and key stakeholders to prioritise projects, facilitate approvals, and ensure the Territory remains competitive on a national and global stage.
