Can you assure us that construction will not start unless those plans are approved and all required offsets are in place? 3. Has DHA already sold blocks of land or land/house packages on the site? How many? For how much? 4. Darwin has the one of highest rates of homelessness in Australia - what proportion of the housing is for social and public housing?
