3The economy The Northern Territory’s economy has historically revolved around government, military, and other public services. Darwin began exporting liquefied natural gas (LNG) in 2006. The Territory’s burgeoning tourism industry is based on its natural beauty and Aboriginal heritage. Despite contributing the least to Australia’s gross domestic product, the Northern Territory grew the fastest in the early twenty-first century. Agriculture, forestry, and fishing are minor […]

Political nature Darwin is among Australia’s three major tropical cities. Its political importance as the capital of the Northern Territory sets it apart from the other two main towns on Queensland’s east coast (Cairns and Townsville). Darwin is almost legendary because of the city’s physical devastation during WWII (particularly heavy bombing in 1942) and Cyclone Tracy’s Christmas Eve 1974 attack. To reconstruct the city or […]

Introduction Darwin is one of Australia’s three main cities. Its political importance as the capital of the Northern Territory sets it apart from the other two main cities on Queensland’s east coast (Cairns and Townsville). Darwin is almost legendary because of the city’s physical devastation during WWII (particularly heavy bombing in 1942) and Cyclone Tracy’s Christmas Eve 1974 attack. To reconstruct the municipality or expel […]

The planning process in Darwin reflects the Northern Territory’s political economy. In June 2009, Darwin had 124,760 residents, or 55% of the Northern Territory’s total residence (Australian Bureau of Statistics, 2010). For decades, foreign investors from “down south” have controlled Darwin’s economic development. Darwin’s development decisions have been influenced more by the Australian Commonwealth Government than any city or state (except for Canberra and the […]

The Federal Government also wanted to build a critical defensive station on Darwin’s northern coast during and after WWII (Defence Housing Authority, 1996; Clifton, 2005). Despite the Northern Territory’s self-governance in the late 1970s, Commonwealth and other foreign interests have shaped the city’s development. The Commonwealth may override the Northern Territory’s laws and impose its own. For example, it has granted Indigenous land rights, gazetted […]

Culture Northern Territory culture comprises Aboriginal, European, Asian, and other cultures. Aboriginal people in rural areas have kept mainly their clan structure and religious practices. The Chinese and Greek populations in Darwin are economically and politically significant. Due to the instability surrounding East Timor’s (Timor Leste) independence in 2002, a sizeable Timorese population has developed in Darwin. Both markets highlight Darwin’s international history, while the […]

The legal foundation for intervention components on publicly financed computers is examined in this research. No charges were brought because pornography was found on less than 5% of all computers throughout the auditing process. The Australian Crime Commission (and, very likely, the National Indigenous Information Taskforce) acquired generic information via auditing in exchange for signing a Memorandum of Understanding. Through Freedom of Information requests, the […]

positive impacts of urbanization 2.2.1Decentralization Governments must advocate for and support decentralization initiatives that provide an ecologically and economically feasible alternative for moving people from urban areas to rural townships and villages to solve increasing urbanization. Countries such as the Philippines, Uganda, and Ghana have adopted similar initiatives, while the Middle East and other areas of Asia are studying similar methods. There are two ways […]

two ways to achieve decentralization in Australia There are two ways to achieve decentralization in Australia. To begin, governments must recruit and encourage residents to move and re-establish themselves in rural regions with the community’s assistance, private sector, and corporate sector. Second, immigrants should be encouraged to consider Australia’s NorthNorth while deciding where to reside. This is in direct opposition to and in conflict with […]

Regional development that aims to decentralize Australian cities would need an investment in extensive infrastructure. This would include roads and public transportation networks, affordable housing and schools, medical facilities, retail establishments, community centers, and sports facilities across northern Australia. Water supply and management, as well as energy requirements using renewable resources, must be addressed. Significant and ongoing financing will be needed to meet the level […]
