Annual Northern Australia Defence Summit 2014

Big changes are happening in the north, and Defence will play a large part of it. Northern Australia's geographic and strategic location makes it ideal for the support of Defence in the delivery of its objectives and strategic interests for the protection of Australia and its offshore resources. The Northern Territory has a strong economy, existing Defence and civilian infrastructure, available land and natural resources for future development.
