A message from the Minister for Lands, Planning and the Environment
The Northern Territory has the fastest-growing and most dynamic economy in Australia – and the opportunities for the construction industry are impressive.
I’m certain you’ll be excited by what the Territory has to offer at the second Building the Territory conference this August.
The resources sector is forging ahead with a raft of major projects to unlock the Territory’s natural wealth.
That growth is helping to drive our whole economy – and the construction sector is no exception.
Residential building is lifting to match our increasing population and the Northern Territory Government is funding major infrastructure projects to meet the challenges of the future.
But we’re not just investing in roads and hospitals. We’re also releasing land at record rates and slashing red tape to make the Northern Territory the nation’s best place to build.
With more jobs and rising living standards, our future has never been brighter.
I hope you can become a part of the NT’s success story – and this year’s Building the Territory conference will be a great place to start.
The Hon David Tollner MLA, Minister for Lands and Planning, Northern Territory Government

This workshop is designed for any supplier, sales team or management team to influence their organisation to “increase sales” and build a great team at the same time. The discussions will provide the opportunity to cover a number of leadership concepts to help you build your capabilities and better engage with your customers.
Topics to be discussed include:
The inside out leader: How you represent your company internally, is how you are perceived externally.
The influencing leader: What would change in your business simply by understanding your customers better than you could ever imagine?
The communication leader: How do your words connect with your customers and why would they buy from you?
The changing leader: How to change your thinking so it automatically changes your business and sales growth.
What to expect:
• Assess potential internal company changes to improve your business image
• Comprehend the impact of people temperaments and personalities in business
• Adopt a very simple process of why any person buys a product/service, regardless of the price?
