The Extractive Industry Association (EIA) of the Northern Territory is an industry body representing those who extract and process the sand, gravel and crushed stone products which are used in their own right or as ingredients for the materials used in the building of the infrastructure which supports the development of the Northern Territory.

The Association presently has 33 members. The Executive meets monthly and quarterly dinner meetings are held with most members and an industry relevant guest speaker. EIA representatives also consult quarterly with the Northern Territory Government. The Department of Resources provides a venue for both their Department and other NTG Departments to meet and discuss any issues of interest or concern to all parties.

The Association is affiliated with the Civil Contractors Federation.
