About Lee Point

Defence Housing Australia (DHA) proposed development at Lee Point, located in Darwin's northern suburbs, is set to become a thriving residential community for Defence families, the local community and visitors to Darwin. Located just 17 kilometres from the CBD, Lee Point will offer seaside living while still being close to the city.

The proposed masterplanned community is spread across 131 hectares of zoned residential land and is proposed to accommodate 800 new homes, including detached houses, townhouses and apartments that will be delivered over the project’s lifespan.

It is envisaged that a Main Street precinct will offer a tourism activity centre containing restaurants, cafes, hotels, self-contained apartments and retail shops which will benefit from the close proximity to Lee Point and the Casuarina Coastal Reserve. A proposed community hub will be located in Muirhead North, and will include a primary school, child-care facility and sports facilities, covering approximately 3.7 hectares.
