Access Economics forecasts
growth of the Northern Territory economy at 5.1%
per annum to 2006/07, while BIS Shrapnel predicts
a decade of strong construction in the Territory
from 2006.
"The next few years will see
another phase of infrastructure and resource
investment, including increased transport capacity
(with the completed Adelaide to Darwin rail link)
and mining and energy (mainly oil and gas), which
in turn will broaden the economy in key industries
such as manufacturing and services." (NT Treasury
Budget Papers 2004)
Since the Defence move North
