Northcrest, NT – A groundbreaking application submitted has unveiled the development plan for what is the largest subdivision application ever lodged in the history of the Northern Territory.
The ambitious project promises to transform the landscape of the former Berrimah Farm and offer unparalleled amenities to its future residents.

The company behind this is DCOH, where Managing Director Shane Dignan continues to champion the Territory forward.

Northcrest, a Northern Territory Government masterplanned community with major project status, is a landmark subdivision of the 168-hectare site formally known as Berrimah Farm. The Northcrest site is approximately 5 kilometres southeast of the Darwin Airport, 10 kilometres east of the Darwin CBD and 7 kilometres northwest of the Palmerston CBD. The site is part of the Berrimah Farm Area Plan which, among other elements, facilitates the development of the locality for the residential suburb of Northcrest.

The development seeks to create 935 lots across the Southern Precinct of the Northcrest estate, including 909 Residential Lots, 24 Open Space Lots, 1 Community Purpose Lot and 1 Tourist Commercial Lot. The development will occur across 21 separate stages and excludes the Berrimah Farm Science Precinct.

This will total 1500 residential lots in Northcrest with 300 houses already built and another 200 lots currently under construction. This attributes a 3 X multiplier or ~1 billion on the economic contribution to the economy.

Some of the future plans include:

– A total of 21.5HA of Open Space and parkland with war memorial feature
– Childcare Centre
– McDonalds (under construction)
– Commercial office buildings – NLC (under construction)
– Service Station and Car Wash
– Supermarket
– Senior Living and Residential Apartments
– Community Tavern Restaurant
– Service Commercial and Light Industrial

The proposed residential lots range from 420m2 to 1509m2 in size with all lots to be connected to public transport networks, reticulated water, sewer, electricity and telecommunications. DCOH continues to install the tens-of-millions of dollars in headworks infrastructure, all of which have been solely funded, for not only Northcrest but the surrounding district.

Shane Dignan of DCOH is very proud to bring this development to Territorians, offering a place where everyone can establish their dream homes with all the conveniences of a modern lifestyle by providing land supply for population growth and improving liveability for the Territory.

“It’s great to see a crane in the CBD again and the team have done a great job in getting foundational work completed before the wet season,” said Shane Dignan, Managing Director of DCOH.

We, as a local company are thrilled to be part of this iconic project. Working with Larrakia Development Corporation, we are excited to deliver many Indigenous employment opportunities as the project grows.

A big thank you to Drew Miller, Lachlan Michell and their team for their hard work in moving the Project forward. We are looking forward to seeing this project come out the ground in the coming months.

On Wednesday 1^st November, we had the pleasure of welcoming NAWIC members on site to tour the CDU Education and Community Precinct. 

The tour was led by Developments General Manager, Drew Miller and Project Manager, Jay McNeice. The team provided insights into the construction and innovations incorporated into this exciting project, addressing multiple questions from the group throughout the tour.

The tour provided a great opportunity to showcase the progress we’ve made and the unique features that distinguish this project. We are proud to have many women involved in this project, and we look forward to more collaborations with NAWIC in the future!

The Casuarina Aquatic and Leisure Centre project site is abuzz with activity as the installation of shade structures continues to go well.

DCOH formerly known as Halikos have now received its last shipment of support beams.

Each of these support beams carries a substantial weight of 5,500kg, which is equivalent to that of three cars!

The purpose of these structures is to provide respite from the intense sun and ensure protection by effectively shading around 70% of the eight-lane 50-meter pool and the six-lane 25-meter pool.

DCOH takes great pride in overseeing the completion of this project on behalf of the City of Darwin
