Territory 2030 Implementation
Territory 2030 is a 20-year strategic plan for the Northern Territory. It was developed by an independent Steering Committee and was launched by the Chief Minister and the two Co-Chairs of the Steering Committee, Vicki O’Halloran and Bill Moss AM, on 3 December 2009.
The Territory 2030 Strategic Plan is a road map for the future. Developed in consultation with the Territory community, Territory 2030 will set priorities and guide government’s efforts over the next two decades.
Territory 2030 contains 128 targets linked to six key priorities: education, society, economic sustainability, health and wellbeing, the environment, and knowledge, creativity and innovation.
This is what has happened so far:
- A new Subcommittee of Cabinet has been established to oversight implementation of the Strategic Plan. The Subcommittee is currently finalising its key priorities for 2010.
- An Implementation Unit has been established in the Department of the Chief Minister to coordinate implementation across government and to support the Subcommittee of Cabinet.
- All Government agencies have reviewed strategic plans and policy frameworks to align with Territory 2030.
- Territory 2030 data is available on some key targets now. This will be updated on a regular basis and as more data becomes available.
What is being planned:
- 2030 Conferences will be held over the coming two years to advance key strategic targets. Interest groups, experts and stakeholders will be invited to participate in the conferences. The first of these conferences the Weddell: Tropical, Sustainable, Liveable Towards 2030 Conference and Design Forum was held at the Darwin Convention Centre between 27 September and 1 October 2010. Information about the conference can be found at: http://www.nt.gov.au/lands/growth/weddell/ A housing conference will also be held in 2011.
- Some targets are under-developed and require further work. These will be advanced by key committees and through consultation across government and with key strategic partners.
- A Household Survey will be undertaken every two years. Information from the survey will help fill the data gaps that exist for some targets.
- A Scorecard recording progress against each target will be published every two years. The first Scorecard is due in 2012.
- An Independent Review of the Territory 2030 Strategic Plan will be undertaken every five years. The first review is due in 2015.
