The Mungari Industrial Estate was conceived in the 1990s with planning approval received in 1998. Despite considerable efforts by LandCorp, the Estate Advisory Committee and the Goldfields-Esperance Development Commission in marketing opportunities available for appropriate regionally based industry to locate in Mungari, no lots have been sold to date. The cost of delivering developed land at Mungari is influenced by two factors namely: (i) requirements for infrastructure (ie. gas, rail, water, power, etc) and (ii) the WA Planning Commission requirements for the developer to provide minimum standards of servicing to the boundary of any subdivided lots. The major constraint at Mungari is the provision of power with Western Power estimating only 1 megawatt may be available in the line adjacent to the estate. The total cost to develop a Stage One area of 45 hectares comprising four lots and encompassing roads, drainage, site works and power is estimated to be in the order of $2.6 million. To date, no proponents have been willing to pay these costs.
