Financing Partnerships
The Northern Australia Infrastructure Facility Amendment (Extension and Other Measures) Act 2021, was passed in May 2021. One of the key reforms was to enable NAIF to provide smaller loans to projects and businesses, working in partnership with other lenders or the jurisdictions.
NAIF’s financing partnerships are designed to support small to medium-sized projects and businesses across northern Australia that require loans in the $1 million to $10 million range. These partnerships work with lenders and governments to bridge financial gaps and help deliver essential infrastructure, particularly for projects that create public benefits such as improved services, local jobs, or broader economic opportunities.
Territory Growth Initiative
Our current financing partnership is with the Northern Territory Government through the Territory Growth Initiative (TGI). The TGI provides targeted loan pathways for businesses and organisations that may otherwise find it difficult to secure capital, particularly in regional and remote areas.
Through the Territory Infrastructure Loans program, NAIF and the TGI jointly provide concessional finance for projects of up to $10 million.
