Save Lee Point
The natural beauty and biodiversity of Lee Point peninsula is under threat
Build at Berrimah not Lee Point
The undeveloped housing land (90ha) on the Defence Housing Australia (DHA) Lee Point site should be swapped with the Defence Establishment Berrimah (DEB) site. The DEB site is to be sold off.
Please sign SENATE PETITION
This petition asks Senate to:
- establish a Senate committee to conduct an inquiry into the DHA Lee Point housing project in Darwin, and
- request the federal Minister for Defence Personnel and Veteran Affairs, Matt Keogh MP, instruct DHA to immediately pause clearing works at Lee Point until the inquiry is complete.
