This project will form part of the Liberal-National State Government’s commitment to deliver 30,000 homes by 2020.
The Housing Authority advises:
(1) An Expression of Interest to find a private sector partner to assist in developing the land is planned to be released to market in October 2016. The development is expected to commence in mid-2017 following the appointment of a private sector partner.
(2) The development will comprise up to 160 homes. Completion will be dependent on market conditions and sale rates. It is estimated that lots will start being available for sale by December 2017, which should enable the development to be completed by 2021.
(3) There has not been a delay. Significant milestones have been achieved since the site was acquired. The Housing Authority has obtained a rezoning, structure plan and subdivision approval from the Western Australian Planning Commission.
(4) No.
