The aspiration for Middle Arm is such that it can deliver green energy transition, new export markets in critical minerals and agribusiness, and be successfully underpinned by circular economy principles. The support is not unqualified and this submission addresses the importance of regional environmental monitoring and community engagement.  \nAustralia’s most connected University  \nCDU’s vision is to be Australia’s most connected university by being courageous and making a difference in the Northern Territory (NT), Australia and beyond.  \nCDU is the only university headquartered in the NT with campuses in Darwin, Alice Springs, Palmerston and Katherine and study centres in Nhulunbuy and Tennant Creek. The NT spans approximately one-sixth of Australia’s landmass and yet is home to just one per cent of the population, of whom  \n30 per cent are First Nations peoples.  \nCDU is a dual sector university with around 7,500 higher education and 3,000 vocational full time equivalent students. Around seven per cent of higher education and 25 per cent of vocational education students are First Nations students, and CDU has the highest proportion of remote students in higher education in Australia.  \nAs a progressive research-intensive university with a regional focus, CDU prioritises the complex issues facing Northern Australia. The Times Higher Education World University Rankings places CDU 29th of 37 ranked universities in Australia, despite being one of the smallest. Research Institutes at CDU, includingthe Research Institute for the Environment and Livelihoods, the Menzies School of Health Research, the Northern Institute and the Energy and Resources Institute, and their collaborative research networks, provide a strategic framework for research engagement.  \nResponse to Terms of Reference  \nCDU welcomes the opportunity to contribute to the Senate Standing Committees on Environment and Communications’ Inquiry into the Middle Arm Industrial Precinct.  \n(a) the development of Darwin’s Middle Arm Industrial Precinct, the role and funding intentions of the Northern Territory and Commonwealth governments;  \nThe proposed development of the Middle Arm Industrial Precinct (the Precinct) would enable commonuser support infrastructure to maximise industrial facilities and de-risk private investment. The infrastructure proposed is hoped to spur increased private investment, support new industries, and drive economic growth through production and employment activity. In turn, this is hoped to drive population growth in the NT, increasing economic opportunities for Territorians.  \nWhile Middle Arm is located near Darwin, the expected economic growth associated with projects extends across the Territory. CDU understands projects would have a focus on enhanced energy security and critical mineral development. Technologies that require further scientific development, especially green hydrogen and carbon capture and storage (CCS), are also considered.  \nCDU intends to support workforce growth associated with the Middle Arm Precinct through the delivery of higher education and vocational training. CDU would work with government and industry bodies to identify training and education needs as the Precinct develops. CDU also anticipates a corresponding expansion of research collaboration with industry in areas of growth especially through the CDU Energy and Resources Institute.  \n(b) the likely and intended future uses of the site as well ","cbCaieCezz16s6TJ","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaieCezz16s6TJ","pdf",371120,"English","# Response to Terms of Reference\n## Proposed development: role and funding intentions\n## Likely future uses: industries and supply chains","[{\"question\":\"What position does Charles Darwin University take on the Middle Arm Industrial Precinct?\",\"answer\":\"Charles Darwin University supports the Middle Arm Industrial Precinct as a means to drive economic growth in the Northern Territory.
