Bringing Local Government to the Cox-Daly and Marrakai-Douglas Daly Areas
Share on FacebookShare on TwitterShare on LinkedinEmail this link
Consultation has concluded
One of the major objectives of the 2008 local government reforms was the inclusion of the whole of the Northern Territory into local government areas.
The intention prior to 2008 was to have a Top End Council, which was to include the Cox-Daly and Marrakai‑Douglas Daly areas, however the Top End Council was not created. As a result, both areas are not within a local government area. It is estimated that there are a total of 2082 allotments within these areas, including 17 pastoral leases and 40 mining tenements.
The Northern Territory Government is proposing to include the Cox‑Daly and Marrakai‑Douglas Daly areas into a local government area(s) and is interested in the views of the property owners, residents and other interested parties.
The inclusion of the Cox‑Daly and Marrakai‑Douglas Daly areas into a local government area(s) would not occur before 1 July 2023.
You are invited to make a submission by 20 May 2022.
Please read the information paper and let us know what you think by completing the survey.
You can also make a submission by post or email.
Written submissions can be sent by post or email to:
