AFL Taskforce

The Northern Territory (NT) Government and AFLNT established a Territory AFL Team Taskforce in 2021 to identify the pathway to explore opportunities to underpin an NT AFL licence.

The taskforce is comprised of committed Territory locals and industry experts. They are:

• Kate Worden, Minister for Sport (Co-Chair)
• Mr Sean Bowden, Chair AFLNT (Co-Chair)
• Mr Nigel Browne, CEO, Larrakia Development Corporation
• Mr Tony Edmondstone, CEO Airport Development Group
• Mr Lewis Martin, Managing Director Seven Melbourne & Network Head of Sport
• Mr Peter Jackson, CEO, Melbourne Football Club (2013-2018) and Essendon Football Club (1996 to 2009)
• Dr Josie Douglas, General Manager, Central Land Council.

The objective of the taskforce is to explore and build on the foundations laid by the AFLNT’s Feasibility Study: The Unconventional Model, and to develop a business plan and a strategy to effectively drive the Territory’s AFL licence ambitions.

The taskforce has now delivered its strategic business case.
