On this Ngaarda Wila hour Marion Cheedy has some of the stories that have been shared at this week’s Developing Northern Australia conference that took place in Karratha.  

The main message from this year’s event was the
announcement by minister Madeline King of the implementation action plan for Northern Australia. The Plan outlines six policy priorities, which will inform future government action. They are:
Activating the northern economy
Infrastructure to unlock growth
A safe and secure north
Growing the northern Australia workforce
Liveable, healthy and resilient communities 
And Protecting the north’s environment and cultural heritage.
