DCCEEW infringement resolved on DHA’s Lee Point project

by Defence Housing Australia | May 26, 2025

 

Defence Housing Australia (DHA) acknowledges that the Department of Climate Change, Energy, the Environment and Water (DCCEEW) has issued it an Infringement Notice relating to its Darwin Lee Point housing development. 

The infringement was issued following DHA clearing a small area in 2024 that was not in compliance with its Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 (Cth) conditions at the time.

DHA worked constructively with DCCEEW during the investigation to provide the information required for the Department to make its decision, and it accepts DCCEEW’s findings. 

This Infringement Notice does not affect the validity of DHA’s environmental approvals for the Lee Point development and, as DHA has paid the infringement, the matter is now closed.  

DHA takes compliance matters seriously and is committed to ensuring strict adherence with approvals across all development projects.
