Creating jobs, supporting local business and private investment opportunities is one of the main focuses of the Territory Labor Government. 

The Northern Territory Government is planning for the future development of the former Katherine Sports and Recreation Club on Giles Street Katherine and is seeking interested parties to pre-register interest to develop the site into hotel accommodation. 

The site is Lot 3017, Town of Katherine is a 1.96 hectare parcel of Crown land located at 40 Giles Street, Katherine.

The Territory Government will be seeking detailed proposals or concepts from parties interested in redeveloping the site for purposes that;

• revitalise the site, 
•  maintain areas of open green space and connectivity to the Katherine River corridor, and
• deliver on the hotel accommodation market requirements for Katherine.

A formal Expression of Interest process will follow the pre-registration.

The former clubhouse and ancillary buildings that were on the site were demolished in late 2020, by local business Option Group Pty Ltd on behalf of Government.

Quotes from the Minister for Infrastructure, Planning and Logistics, Eva Lawler:

“Creating private investment opportunities in the Territory means more jobs and more economic activity.

“The redevelopment of the Katherine Sports and Recreation Club site will open new doors and opportunity for Katherine, while improving on the availability of tourism facilities in the town.

“We are making sure there are projects for interested parties to deliver on, including the construction of a new hotel in Katherine, which this pre-registration EoI is calling for.”
