Planning for the future and creating private investment opportunities within the Territory is one way this Government is making the Territory the Comeback Capital.

From today, an Expression of Interest has opened for the future development of the former Katherine Sports and Recreation Club.

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.

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.

For more information, please contact Crown Land Estate, Department of Infrastructure, Planning and Logistics, on 8973 8926 or Lot3017.EOI2021@nt.gov.au.

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

“Planning for the future and creating job opportunities for now and into the future is how we are ensuring that we grow our economy.

“The redevelopment of the Katherine Sports and Recreation Club site will open new doors and opportunities 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 EoI is calling for.”
