Major Project Status is awarded to projects that are significant, complex and have strategic impact.
Major Project Status is generally sought by private sector proponents as confirmation of NT Government support for the project.
The objectives of the Major Project Status are to:

• secure private sector investment to broaden and deepen the NT economy
• support private sector proponents, particularly investors that are new to the NT through government processes
• drive timely and efficient delivery of government services to the project.

For the project proponent, the benefits include whole of government coordination, assistance in identifying and coordinating regulatory approvals and facilitation of engagement with the Australian Government through a central and single point of contact.
The benefits of major projects for the NT include:

• local business engagement in the project
• attraction of new business to the NT
• skills development and jobs for Territorians
• expansion of the investor pool.

Since 2001, the NT has adopted a case management approach for projects that have been awarded Major Project Status.
