The Land Development Corporation (LDC) and Ostojic Group have finalised a land sale contract with BP Australia to build and operate a new facility at Darwin’s $25m ‘Truck Central’ development. 

Located at the corner of Wishart Road and Tiger Brennan Drive in Berrimah, NT, BP’s Truck Stop will be an essential part of the development, providing fuel and driver rest and fatigue management amenities.

Truck Central is the first stage of the 70 hectare Industrial Precinct situated at the crossroads of the region’s major heavy vehicle transport routes. The estate is set to become the key transport hub for the Top End.

The LDC’s CEO Tony Stubbin said, “The announcement of BP’s Truck Stop at Truck Central complements the Road Train Assembly Area and the Heavy Vehicle Inspection Area and makes Truck Central another step closer to becoming the one stop transport hub for the Top End. Both Ostojic and LDC are receiving interest from businesses keen to establish a presence at Truck Central.”

24 allotments ranging in size from 2,800sqm – 10,000sqm are being marketed by Craig Inkster and Riley Nixon of Colliers. 

The development is expected to attract transport and general industry businesses such as regional distribution centres, truck sales, transport depots and will be supported by a range of vehicle maintenance activities such as inspection centres, tyre, mechanical and body repairs.
