DEVELOPER WANTED!!

The Sanctuary is a unique 16 kilometre square natural habitat located in Marrakai, which sits between Darwin and the entrance to Kakadu National Park. The site has been fully master planned into six development stages, consisting of seven commercial sites, the two largest have unobstructed Arnhem Highway road frontage, complemented with 247 generous-sized residential blocks.
Presently, it's around a 50 minute drive from Darwin, though this will be significantly improved later this year with the construction of the Stuart and Arnhem Highway duplication. The works will create new dual lanes in each direction for 12 kilometres along the Arnhem Highway, improve access, reduce congestion, and open up this road corridor to support the area's growing population and industry.
This unique greenfield site is well positioned to become the Territory's next lifestyle destination. Surrounded by protected areas of conservation, which will never be built out. Stage 1B has already been fully engineered for civil and electrical works, plans are available on request.
This provides a rare opportunity to turn-off large rural lifestyle blocks that are always in high demand, particularly affordable sites that are especially scarce in the current market.
For a quiet, discreet Top End location, the Marrakai area is punching above its weight economically. A number of burgeoning major projects, which include mining, agribusiness, infrastructure and tourism are poised for exponential growth. These projects will all require a new workforce and amenities to accommodate.
A LOCATION POISED FOR GROWTH
The region surrounding The Sanctuary is ripe with opportunity with a number of emerging projects coming to fruition. These include:
• $1.78 billion anticipated operating expenditure over 17 years at the Mt Bundy Gold Project with 400 new jobs created,
• $411 million (combined Federal and NT Government spend) to rejuvenate Kakadu National Park and transform nearby Jabiru from a mining town into a world-class tourism hub
• $1.45 billion Adelaide River Off-Stream Water Storage (AROWS), construction expected to start in 2028.
