When assessing a significant development proposal, the Commission must consider the objects of the Act, and the significant development report must identify and give advice about the possible impacts of the proposal on future land use and development in the Territory. Hughes and Noonamah The concepts identified in the development propose a total of 1900 hectares around the historic Hughes Airstrip and existing Noonamah District Centre.

The concepts also provide for community uses, and tourist related development associated with the historically significant Hughes Airfield.
