Work with DHA to provide a long-term supply of newly constructed leased properties.
The New Builds Volume Leasing Program is your opportunity to work with DHA to bring newly constructed, high-quality properties to our portfolio. We are seeking Expressions of Interest (EOIs) from suppliers to deliver a long-term supply of around 500 new properties in Rockingham, Western Australia over the next five years to lease to DHA.
The opportunity is open to industry participants active in the development of land, building and/or sale of new dwellings to investors, or investment bodies looking for secure long-term leases on properties in their investment portfolios.
You may express your preference for one or more of the following Delivery Models to deliver a long-term supply of individually leased housing to DHA:
- Build to sell and lease – You have your own development land or you would source land from the market to construct houses on and sell to investors with a DHA lease commitment1.
- Build to retain and lease – You have your own development land or you would source land from the market to construct houses on and retain in your own investment portfolio to lease to DHA1.
- Corporate Investment – You are a corporate investor that would source properties from third parties to be developed/constructed on your behalf to retain in your own investment portfolio to lease to DHA1.
- Property Fund/Trust – You would create a Property Fund or Trust in which units would be owned by investors that would fund the development/construction of properties by third parties which you would lease to DHA1.
Housing to be delivered under the New Builds Volume Leasing Program would be leased from the investor, or your organisation if retaining the property, under the terms of DHA’s lease and Property Care Contract.
Initially this EOI process provides an opportunity for you to showcase your ability to access land to deliver DHA-compliant housing and may lead to your organisation being invited to participate in the New Builds Volume Leasing Program.
DHA wants you to respond to this EOI and demonstrate:
- Your capability to deliver suitable housing in Rockingham.
- Your ability to access land and construct housing or acquire new built-form housing in Rockingham.
- The timeframe in which you could deliver built housing on available land over a long-term period.
- Whether you plan to sell all of the housing to investors, or retain all or some for your own investment portfolio.
- Any other innovative methods of delivering long-term leased housing for DHA in the Townsville region.
