An established home builder in Western Australia, Plunkett Homes brings more than 120 years of experience to its collaboration with Defence Housing Australia (DHA). With a proud legacy of building quality homes that stand the test of time, Plunkett Homes is supporting DHA’s mission to provide well-located, quality housing for Defence personnel and their families in key WA regions. With construction underway, these homes are being delivered across the growing suburbs of Rockingham and Baldivis, supporting Defence families stationed close to Fleet Base West and HMAS Stirling.  

DHA is working with Plunkett Homes to deliver a range of quality house-and-land packages tailored to meet the unique needs of Defence members and their families. These homes are carefully assessed to ensure they meet DHA’s requirements for location, design, and inclusions. Upon completion and in compliance with DHA’s Offer to Lease, DHA will commit to a long-term lease, offering security for both Defence families and investors. 

Plunkett Homes prides itself on delivering homes that reflect the way people live today and how they’ll live in the future. Plunkett Homes’ reach across WA ensures quality construction with local insight, backed by long-standing relationships with trusted trades, suppliers, and contractors. 

Plunkett Homes’ commitment to quality craftsmanship, enduring materials, and trusted trades means every home is made to last. Combining history, reliability, and a commitment to excellence, Plunkett Homes is proud to collaborate with DHA to deliver quality housing for Defence families and secure investment opportunities for investors with guaranteed* rent, property care services, and vacancy management.

*It’s important to understand that DHA is not selling these properties directly. We have assessed the property location, plans and inclusions and committed to a long-term lease on completion of construction, if delivered to the agreed specifications in the DHA Offer to Lease. However, this is not an endorsement of each individual builder.  

**Rent may be subject to abatement under certain circumstances such as loss of enjoyment or amenity, or breach of lease terms. Rent is paid where the property is habitable. Should a property become uninhabitable during the term of the lease, or lessor breaches the lease terms, the rent may cease or abate and the lease may be terminated by DHA. Guaranteed rent is subject to the terms of the lease. DHA does not take into account an investor’s objectives or financial needs. Investors should always seek appropriate independent advice before making any investment decisions with DHA.
