Words: Zizi Averill

Bulldozers could soon be returning to Lee Point after an emergency application from Traditional Owners was rejected.The controversial 800-home Defence Housing Australia development at Binybara, Lee Point has been opposed by Traditional Owners, environmentalists and community members, with long running protests escalating to arrests.Federal Environment Minister Tanya Plibersek dropped the Easter surprise on Thursday, by rejecting a cultural heritage application and greenlighting the development.However, Ms Plibersek said she recognised that the wider Binybara, Lee Point peninsula was a culturally important area, with 92 per cent of the peninsula recognised and protected under NT laws.
