The council comprises:
- Andrew Kirkman, Department of Infrastructure, Planning and Logistics (Co-Chair)
- Dr Hermione Parsons, Australian Logistics Council (Co-Chair)
- Peter Dummett, Darwin Port
- Sam Burke, AustralAsia Railway Corporation
- Clayton McDonald, Aurizon
- Tony Edmondstone, Airport Development GroupLouise Bilato, NT Road Transport Association

- Will Evans, NT Cattlemen’s Association
- Katherine Winchester, NT Seafood Council
- Cathryn Tilmouth, Northern Australia, Minerals Council of Australia
- Tim Burrow, Extractive Industries Association of NT
- Greg Ireland, NT Chamber of Commerce.
Initial priority actions for the council will include supply chain mapping and investigation of a potential freight transition scheme.

“Addressing risk and building additional resilience into Territory supply chains is vital to support Territorians and businesses to access what they need, and get products to markets, whether that be in everyday life or in times of crisis,” minister for infrastructure, planning and logistics Eva Lawler says.
“Building a coalition between industry, business and government to collaborate to improve market connections was a recommendation of the Territory Economic Reconstruction Commission to help accelerate the Territory’s growth.”
