Council of Territory Cooperation

On October 2009, the Council of Territory Co-operation (CTC) was established to examine government decision making, in consultation with opposition and other members of the Legislative Assembly.

The CTC is comprised of up to six members including two government members, two opposition members and at least one independent member, with Independent Member for Nelson, Gerry Wood, appointed as Chairman. The CTC’s purpose is to facilitate:

• greater levels of collaboration in the governance of the Northern Territory
• enhance parliamentary democracy by providing a stronger role for members of the Legislative Assembly who are not members of the Executive – particularly on matters of common concern
• expand involvement in important Northern Territory initiatives and projects
• provide new avenues for Territorians to have input through the Legislative Assembly into the governance of the Northern Territory
• provide a roadmap for tackling some specific issues currently facing the Northern Territory.
