Alison Ross
Committee Member
Big Rivers Region
Alison Ross is the owner and Principal of Elders Real Estate Katherine, where she brings over two decades of expertise in the Top End’s dynamic property market. Since moving to Katherine in 2000 and acquiring her business eight years ago, Alison has witnessed significant shifts in regional demographics, equipping her with a unique understanding of population trends across northern Australia.
Alison currently serves as Chair of the Big Rivers Region Economic Growth Committee, a role appointed by the Chief Minister’s Office, where she has led initiatives to foster regional development over the past three years. Her commitment to the industry extends to her position as a board member and Treasurer of the Real Estate Institute of the Northern Territory.
In addition to her real estate career, Alison owned and operated a small irrigation property on the Katherine River for 15 years, dedicating five of those years to cultivating a variety of horticultural crops for food production. This experience has given her a practical perspective on the opportunities and challenges facing agriculture in the NT.
Alison’s expertise in real estate has seen her negotiate and transact on some of the NT’s largest pastoral properties, alongside a variety of horticultural and, more recently, forestry properties in both the Katherine region and the east Kimberley. Her broad experience across diverse land uses provides her with valuable insights into the evolving needs of the Top End’s agricultural sector.
