Land clearing at Lee Point/Binybara again dominated the year.
In early May 2024, Stage 2 and 3 were bulldozed by Defence Housing Australia (DHA) and 19 people were arrested.
An investigation into the illegal bulldozing operation at Lee Point by NT authorities will not lead to charges against DHA despite breaches in the NT Planning Act.
