About Lee Point
Defence Housing Australia's (DHA) development at Lee Point, located in Darwin's northern suburbs, is set to become a thriving residential community for Defence families, the local community and visitors to Darwin. Located just 17 kilometres from the CBD, Lee Point will offer seaside living while still being close to the city.
The masterplanned community is spread across 131 hectares of zoned residential land and is designed to accommodate 800 new homes, including detached houses, townhouses and apartments that will be delivered over the project’s lifespan.
It is envisaged that a Main Street precinct will offer a tourism activity centre containing restaurants, cafes, hotels, self-contained apartments and retail shops which will benefit from the close proximity to Lee Point and the Casuarina Coastal Reserve. A proposed community hub will be located in Muirhead North, and will include a primary school, child-care facility and sports facilities, covering approximately 3.7 hectares.

| Status | Planning at Lee Point continues while awaiting a Northern Territory Civil and Administrative Tribunal (NTCAT) outcome, expected in late-2026. Planning currently includes design work on the remaining stages of the Muirhead North site. Plans for remediation works in the Lee Point Casuarina Coastal Reserve (CCR) are also progressing, with DHA to rehabilitate erosion gullies in the CCR in line with the Lee Point Project Development Agreement. Works will stabilise the gullies, restore natural landforms and improve environmental conditions through native vegetation. These works are expected to commence in 2026. Further information on these plans is detailed for public exhibition on the Northern Territory Government’s website(Opens in a new tab/window). |
