As part of its establishment, Rio Tinto provided DEAL with 250 properties to support economic development in East Arnhem. DEAL manages and maintains these housing assets in Nhulunbuy to support ongoing economic and business growth.
DEAL housing assets will be used to:
- Attract and encourage new and expanded economic activity; and
- Support the operation of existing business and service providers in the region.
For this reason, rental application forms will only be accepted from an employing business, Aboriginal corporation or government agency. Applications by other business entities may be considered by exception. There is also a private rental market in Nhulunbuy.
