As many of my readers know I generally type with passion as these empty houses directly affect the area I live and work
in . And as a matter of interest every single person I talk to think leaving these houses empty in a housing crisis this its absolute madness.
Julia Gillard are you Listening
Well that would be a no so instead of ranting lets look at the nt news I have a full cover copy of their front page as part of this post and they have covered this story two days in a row. Not to mention the coverage over the past year. Lets look what’s happening in the NT that is driving this ridiculous housing situation.
What’s Causing The NT housing Shortage
- Impex starting construction
- Defence moving back a long lost regiment (that they moved away 2 years ago)
- Marines coming to Darwin
- Associated construction for above
We have contacted many politicians about this and the madness continues the defence department has just shut up shop and gone to ground. So we need to start the campaign again WE NEED THOSE HOUSES RELEASED to the people of Darwin or put defence back in them this is a maddening situation that is laughable if it wasn’t so serious.
Darwin now has a rental shortage that is laughable tenants are bidding for properties I wonder what many of these new people would think if they knew about these 300 empty.
Now I know I’m sounding like a broken record but lets say it again SAVE those Houses and help alleviate the NT housing shortage

I have recently received by email a copy of the chief ministers plan to help with the housing shortage in Darwin please find a copy word for word below. Now the amazing thing was this plan was created to help with Darwins housing shortage. I mean there’s nothing I can do to explain my amazement and shock at the absolute disdain these politicians are showing towards these houses on the suburb of eaton that the government and the defence department are going to bulldoze.
Anyway read Pauls Plan Oh look he doesn’t mention the houses

Greater Darwin Plan
This month I was pleased to announce the release of my Government’s Greater Darwin Plan – a strategic framework for the sustainable development of our region. (Um what about empty houses that are already built)
The Greater Darwin Region is expected to grow by up to 70 000 extra people over the next 15 years. ( Maybe , Maybe not , but I bet the would rather nice houses on big blocks)
Major projects such as the Marine Supply Base and Ichthys LNG will create thousands of new jobs, and Darwin is well placed to become Australia’s oil and gas capital. The Territory is forecast to have the second highest economic growth in the nation over the next five years. (we have covered this at the moment defence and lng workers are competeng in a tight rental market , did I mention there are about 300 propertys defence are looking for , oh yes they have empty ones ready for people about to be bulldozed)
The Greater Darwin Plan has been strategically formulated to support residential and industrial growth, while maintaining the unique character of our communities. ( nothing as unique as a buldozer knocking down 400 houses)
The Plan is on exhibition for public comment and is available online at www.growingnt.nt.gov.au.
For further information, please do not hesitate to contact the office of Gerry McCarthy, Minister for Planning, on 8901 4102. ( we asked gerry their thoughts , its not a problem , I expect if you add these houses into GOV plan it would muck it up)
Yours sincerely
PAUL HENDERSON (Captian of the Accomodation nightmare)
