Stages

Below is an outline of the stages that accompany many developments. Currently we are at pre-development stage investigating possible feasibilities and community support.

Depending on community, economic and financial support, this process may be as short as 5 years or extend to 10+ years. It is AFL NT and Larrakia Development Corp's intention to do the work to underwrite and make the project happen. Our vision is to find a way to:

  • Project Investigation - Win support from all for project to proceed
  • Financial Plan - Win banking and capital support to finace project (with a supporting business plan)
  • Development Plan - Deliver the stadium project per financial plan
  • Operational Plan - Contract & underwrite activations
  • Opening Plan - Employ & enjoy facility

Sponsors

We have a territory team, championed by AFL NT and Larrakia Development Corp. Additionally, we have a proactive outreach program to include and engage with all Sporting Associations. The success of this Stadium development requires strong colaboration between all sporting codes.

Those associations that are active in our planning and support are listed below, along with means to contact with them:

  • Basketball NT

Our community engagement plan is designed to priorities each Association feedback. As future users of our facility, it is our intent to ensure best practices from all codes are incorporated into our design brief. We encourage interested members in the community to first express their support and interest to be involved in this project through their sporting associations.
