Abstract

This chapter evaluates the potential barriers that could derail the delivery of the new or boosted city proposals for northern Australia, discussed in the previous chapter. These barriers are, to varying degrees, environmental, economic, societal, and governance-related and include carrying capacity issues, the cost of enabling infrastructure, and the question of how to stimulate growth in a new city. Many of these barriers will be familiar to readers who are acquainted with failed attempts at decentralization from the twentieth century. However, in some cases, these barriers have transmuted into different forms, with both changing technology and climate. Regardless, an analysis of these barriers reveals some formidable obstacles to new or boosted city developments in the north, of which proponents should be aware.

The Australian government has recently established a ‘City Deals’ policy in which ‘the three levels of government, the community and private enterprise’ … ‘work to align the planning, investment and governance necessary to accelerate growth and job creation, stimulate urban renewal and drive economic reforms’ (Department of the Prime Minister and Cabinet 2017). While a much-needed initiative, this policy is city-specific and not geared to delivering regional development and creating new cities.
