Engineering Excellence in the Northern Territory

A large-scale indigenous housing and infrastructure program, a unique wartime heritage museum, and the Southern Hemisphere’s largest solar tracking power plant have shown that engineering excellence and innovation are alive and kicking in Australia’s Northern Territories.

The National Partnership on Remote Indigenous Housing and Defence of Darwin Experience won ‘Excellence Awards’ and the Uterne Power Plant received the Australian Solar Energy Society (AuSES) Award for Sustainability.

As part of the National Partnership Agreement on Remote Indigenous Housing, 143 fully serviced allotments have been developed in three new subdivisions, with 215 new and 247 rebuilt or refurbished houses delivered in Maningrida and Wadeye.
