The document says "the Coalition would, in its first term, propose to";
"'Look to develop key urban zones Darwin, Cairns/Townsville and Karratha with the aim of susbtantially increasing the population in these areas," the policy document says.
"In conjunction, the current immigration policy, relocation incentives, and personal tax incentives should be reviewed, along with the planning of economic zones centred around these urban areas.
"Relocate substantial and relevant components of Federal departments and Commonwealth agencies, such as the CSIRO, to key urban zones in northern Australia."
A letter also obtained by The Daily Telegraph, signed by shadow Finance Minister Andrew Robb, dated January 15, 2013 and sent to State and Territory Premiers, confirmed that the Coalition planned to reveal the policy "Developing Northern Australia a 2030 Vision" in the early part of this year.
Parts of the plan, however, may be unconstitutional with Federal Governments prohibited under section 51 of the Constitution from discriminating against States on the basis of income tax.
The document calls for an increase in overseas migration to the region, an increase to overseas work visas, and a re-direction of government grants and aid funds to help develop the plan.

Mr Abbott said the focus should not be so much on what the Government was doing, but on how Indigenous people were responding to the extra investment.
And he called for more regular reporting of what the situation is like on the ground.
"All our fine words, all our noble sentiments don't matter if adults aren't going to work and if children aren't going to school," Mr Abbott said.
"And I remain disappointed that the statistics for school attendance and work attendance in Indigenous communities are not being published on a regular basis."
He reaffirmed his commitment to spend a week every year living in an Aboriginal community if the Coalition wins the election.
"The test of progress here is not the laws we pass, it's not the money we spend, it's not the programs we institute."
"It's whether the children are going to school, the adults are going to work, and the communities are safe. That is the test."
