The Desert Knowledge Precinct will be a local, national and international focal point for desert knowledge activities.

The 73ha core site will initially contain the Desert Peoples Centre and headquarters for Desert Knowledge Australia and the Desert Knowledge Cooperative Research Centre (CRC), while creating stronger linkages between existing facilities of CSIRO, Yirara College and the NT Government Departments in the Arid Zone Research Institute.

As a large capital investment by the Northern Territory Government in Central Australia, the Desert Knowledge Precinct will protect and enhance the attractive natural environment during development and will have a strong visual connection with the iconic MacDonnell Ranges in Alice Springs.
