Three developers have been shortlisted for Darwin's Berrimah Farm project and will now submit comprehensive proposals prior to being selected.

The three local developers, Gwelo Developments, Halikos Group and Urbex, are competing for the development rights of the site and turn it into an urban centre.

Northern Territory Minister for Lands and Planning, Peter Chandler, said that they are looking for a developer with a vision to match the ‘premium’ location.

“This will be a community that not only supports its planned 6,750 residents but also attracts visitors from surrounding suburbs by creating spaces and places people want to be in,” he said.

“Restaurants, bars, supermarkets, schools and speciality shops are all possibilities.”

Chandlersaid that the shortlisted developers have the experience and knowledge to deliver quality proposals. They had previously answered an expressions of interest campaign that ran from October to 5 December 2014.

The request for detailed proposal process begins in February, with plans to choose a developer by mid-year, leaving the start of construction possible before the end of 2015.
