The Territory water plan is the Northern Territory’s (NT) first whole‑of‑government strategic plan for water. The plan aims to deliver water security for all Territorians, now and into the future.

With aspirations for a growing population and an economy of $40 billion by 2030, and the challenge of climate change, we need a plan for water security that fits the Territory context.

Priority areas and actions in the plan aim to balance the needs for safe and reliable water for drinking and economic development with maintaining healthy country and ecosystems, and improving the liveability of the Territory.
