Notes:

  • Prices are subject to change over time.
  • House and lot cost would need to be $600k or less to access government’s “help to buy scheme” ie. lot cost approx $200k or less.
  • All sites (except Lee Point) have good access to existing infrastructure and public transport.
  • DHA is wholly owned by the taxpayer
