Mr Moriarty was last seen leaving the pub in Larrimah, around 200km south of Katherine in December 2017. At the time Larrimah's population was about 10.
Despite an extensive search and police offering a $250,000 reward for information, Mr Moriarty and his dog Kellie have never been found.
An inquest into his disappearance and suspected murder kicked off in mid-2018 but was adjourned indefinitely after almost every other Larrimah resident gave evidence.
It was announced on Monday that the inquest will recommence in the Katherine Local Court on April 6 and is set to run for two days.
The news follows the release of the best-selling book Larrimah about the case by journalists Caroline Graham and Kylie Stevenson late last year.
Mr Moriarty's disappearance has sparked a global industry with hundreds of news and magazine articles, award winning podcasts, and a tv show now circulating.
A HBO series is even in the works with directors intent on unravelling the mystery.
