About the DHA leasing program
Established in 1988, DHA’s purpose is to support the Australian Defence Force’s housing requirements by providing accommodation and housing-related services to Defence members and their families.
Leasing is the primary method DHA uses to secure suitable properties for its housing portfolio, contributing to their role of providing safe, modern and supportive living environments for Defence members and their families.
Under DHA’s New Builds Volume Leasing Program, Plunkett Homes will be working closely with local developers to offer suitable house and land packages that can be sold to investors off-the-plan with a DHA commitment to enter a long-term lease on completion of construction.
The benefits of leasing to DHA include:
- reliable rental income with DHA as your tenant
- long-term leases up to 12 years
- rent paid in advance, even when the property is vacant
- property care including most non-structural repairs
