Bob Creek

Department of Corporate and Digital Development

Bob came to Darwin from Adelaide as part of a work gang painting lines on the Stuart Highway. He made Darwin his home and joined the public service in 1973 as a trainee draftsman. So began a long and rich career in public service.

Bob’s achievements in information technology are the subject of legend – from taking mapping off paper to spatial technology, from implementing major IT systems through to leading the NT Government’s first foray into IT outsourcing more than 20 years ago, Bob has done it all.

Bob is respected and revered across all levels of government as our elder statesman of IT and someone who has delivered results for the Territory over 5 decades.
