Save Lee Point
The natural beauty and biodiversity of Lee Point peninsula is under threat
Please sign SENATE PETITION
The 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.
Send a Letter to Ed Smelt MLA
The letter asks Territory Labor to take action on their recent committment to support a moratorium on clearing at Lee Point. The time for Labor to act is now before more damage is done to Lee Point.
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 (123ha) DEB site is to be sold off.
Protect Lee Point – now and for future generations to come – An open letter from 14 groups is to be sent to the NT Government.

Relocating and rescoping the Lee Point defence housing project
The defence housing project at Lee Point has been condemned by (the late) Dr Jane Goodall, hundreds of other scientists and thousands of community members. Its time for the federal government to act.
