MTA Leadership Meets with Local Businesses and NT Decision Makers

For the first time, the MTA held a full Board Meeting in Darwin recently, underscoring the importance the association places on local members.

This was complemented by the Northern Territory Zone Annual General Meeting and a Members Night. A presentation on electric vehicles was provided before discussions turned to major advocacy issues, including local crime amongst others.

Ahead of the TIO 2022 Automotive Apprentice Awards, CEO Darrell Jacobs, his predecessor Paul Unerkov, MTA SA/NT Chair Frank Agostino and members of the Board heard directly from local businesses about issues of concern and set out 2023 priorities.

Whilst in the Territory, it was also an important opportunity to introduce Darrell to key Government Ministers and departments to progress ongoing initiatives in local skills and training development and address further issues of importance. This included repairable write offs, backyard dealers, skilled migration, electric vehicle concessions, registration data and towing rosters.
