The treasurer has wrapped by saying the budget is designed to address the government's three key commitments of "reducing crime, rebuilding the economy and restoring [the territory] lifestyle". 

"The CLP has a proud legacy of building the territory, and today we lay the foundations to rebuild it once again. 

"The Finocchiaro-CLP government has the passion, the discipline, the determination to do the hard work, to fix Labor's failures, to restore confidence and deliver the territory's future.

This is where we'll leave today's live coverage. Thanks for staying with us. 

For Alice Springs, the government is committing $168.7 million "to bring back liveability, pride and community safety".

That includes:

• $123.5 million for the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Art Gallery.
• $14.1 million for a multisports precinct in Gillen.
• $8.9 million for a new multicultural centre.
• $450,000 for free pool access at the Alice Springs Aquatic & Leisure Centre over summer weekends. 

Mr Yan says the government is allocating $4.34 billion towards its capital works program in 2025-26.

That amount includes:

• $289 million for the Tanami Road.
• $223 million for the NT's national network highway upgrades.
• $205 million for the Central Arnhem Road.
• $180 million for territory gas roads.
• $615 million for remote housing.

The treasurer has listed a series of measures to promote job creation and private sector confidence.

Those include:

• $120 million for training and higher education.
  
• $2 million for workforce attraction, skilled migration and international education.
• $88.4 million for tourism promotion, including military heritage and interstate campaigns.
• $6.4 million for the Office of the  Territory Coordinator to fast-track major projects.
• Introducing Australia's highest payroll taxfree threshold.

"At the core, this strategy is about making the territory the best place in the nation to live, work, invest and grow a business."

With the NT's courts facing growing workloads, Mr Yan says the government will commit $78 million in additional funding to the justice system, over four years.

He says this will strengthen victim support, legal aid, community courts and prosecution services.

The treasurer also says the government will fast-track the processing of remand cases "to reduce backlogs and harm".

With the NT's rate of domestic violence the highest in Australia, Mr Yan has announced measures including: 

• $180 million over five years and $36 million a  year in ongoing funding for prevention and early intervention.
• Funding for specialist domestic violence courts, starting in Alice Springs before expanding to more sites.
• New culturally safe offender programs in prisons and communities. 
  
• Men's behaviour change programs in Darwin, Wadeye, Katherine and Alice Springs.

Tough-on-crime measures and boosting community safety have been key feature of the CLP's time in government so far, and Mr Yan says this budget reflects those focuses. 

"This budget puts victims first."

"There are more police on the beat, more beds in corrections and more resources for our courts, and a clear focus on putting victims and the community ahead of offenders."

Key police and corrections funding announcements include:

• $608 million for police services, including remote policing and police aircraft.
• $16 million for upgrading critical infrastructure and technology at the NT's triple-0 call centre.
• $2 million for boosting emergency communication in Central Australia.
• $495 million for corrections, with $126 million in immediate funding, and $176 millions in ongoing funding to address rising prisoner numbers.

The treasurer says the NT's revenue is expected to increase by $142 million this financial year, "driven by improved royalties and reforms".

He says the economy has been impacted by blowouts on a series of major infrastructure projects under Labor, including the Darwin Ship Lift, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Art Gallery and and State Square Art Gallery.

"It's devastating to think how much Territorians have missed out on by allowing these project costs and delays to run unchecked."

"We have uncovered the full scale of the mess and we are now working to fix it. We have scaled back Labor's bloated, undeliverable infrastructure promises and replaced them with a realistic program."

Earlier this year, the CLP scrapped the NT's debt ceiling of $15 billion, saying it would otherwise be hit within the next four years. 

Mr Yan said if that hadn't been done, then to stay under the ceiling the government "would have had to deliver deep and damaging cuts, worth around $1.4 billion, over the period".

He says instead of a debt ceiling, the CLP has introduced a five-pronged "budget repair strategy".

He has also put the public service on notice.

"While we have removed Labor's arbitrary debt ceiling, the public sector will not have a licence to spend money.

"Agencies are being directed to find $20 million per year across government in operating savings, focused on reducing consultancies, travel, communications and marketing, and other discretionary spending."

Mr Yan says the NT needs to "play to its strengths" to boost the economy.

"This means prioritising sectors where the territory holds comparative advantage and has strong long-term growth projects, such as energy, defence, agriculture, mining and tourism."
