This FOI release concerns the Lee Point master-planned urban development in Darwin, Northern Territory, for which Defence Housing Australia is the proponent. It comprises an annual compliance report covering September 2024 to September 2025 under EPBC approval 2015/7591, the Northern Territory development permit DP19/0050 for a 282-lot subdivision across five stages at 544 Lee Point Road, and the Black-footed Tree-rat Offset Plan. The compliance report records that the Offset Plan was approved by the Department of Climate Change, Energy, the Environment and Water on 1 August 2025. It addresses offset conditions requiring at least 21.5 hectares of habitat at 2CRU to be transferred to the Northern Territory Government, with a 10-hectare offset linked to Muirhead North. Work at 2CRU is limited to site maintenance until condition 7 is met. The plan covers threats, fire and weed management, feral cat control, a research project and adaptive management. Amounts and funding details are not given in the excerpt.
