The Coordinator-General’s role is to work collaboratively with other parties to oversee, monitor, assess and advise in relation to:

• Development and delivery of government services and facilities in the Territory Growth Towns to a standard broadly comparable with that in non-Indigenous communities of similar size, location and needs elsewhere in Australia, including through:
  • improvements to the coordination of the development and delivery of such services and facilities
  • reforms to the development and delivery of such services and facilities.
• Progress towards achieving the national Closing the Gap targets in the remote towns and communities of the Northern Territory.
• Planning and strategic investment, in cooperation with the Commonwealth Coordinator-General, in the 15 locations identified under the National Partnership Agreement on Remote Service Delivery.
• Progress on implementing the six steps of the Working Future policy.

The Coordinator-General has been appointed with broad powers that allow him to request information, documents and assistance from Territory Government agencies.

Progress Reports will be release by the Coordinator-General every six months. Report #4 ( December 2010 to May 2011) is available now.
