Summary

As the Cooperative Research Centre for Developing Northern Australia (CRCNA) approaches completion in June 2027, we recognise the need for proactive planning to ensure continued support for research and development in Northern Australia.

To maintain momentum and build on the CRCNA’s achievements, we are proposing the establishment of the Centre for Developing Northern Australia (CDNA). This new entity will continue the vital work initiated by the CRCNA, ensuring sustainable development, innovation, and targeted research in the north. By leveraging the expertise, networks, and insights gained over the past decade, the CDNA will help maximise the region’s economic potential.

This booklet provides information outlining the vision, rationale, and approach of the CDNA.

More information will be provided in the near future. In the meantime reach out to us via enquiry@crcna.com.au if you have questions.
