| NT cruise plans

THE $8 million Gove Port Tourism Precinct, part of the Government of the NT’s East Arnhem Regional Economic Growth Plan, proposes to support the visitation of cruise ships to the region.

The 10-year plan sets ambitious goals for economic and jobs growth across East Arnhem, including the delivery of tourism port infrastructure, for which planning is already underway.

The scheme will add marine and portside infrastructure adjacent to the Gove Boat Club in Nhulunbuy to create a marine tourism entrance to the region, which will support cruise ships to visit East Arnhem, the report said.
