The Northern Territory is launching large-scale farming in arid land using groundwater, aiming for 100,000 hectares of crops by 2030.
The Northern Territory is emerging as Australia’s next agricultural frontier, with investors developing large-scale irrigation projects to grow crops like cotton, melons, and mangoes on arid land, inspired by the 1950s transformation of the Nullarbor Plain.
A 1,400-hectare project near Larrimah, backed by a 10-billion-litre annual groundwater licence, is central to the NT government’s goal of establishing 100,000 hectares of broadacre cropping by 2030.
While past success in the Nullarbor—driven by deep aquifers, solar-powered pumping, and remote monitoring—proves arid land can support agriculture, the NT’s farming ambitions remain in early stages, with outcomes still uncertain.
