THE Western Australian government has awarded the Yolk Property Group/Ventura Home Group consortium to redevelop the 4.2ha former Hainsworth primary school site.
Housing Minister Peter Tinley said the $21.8 million project will deliver at least 129 small lot houses, apartments, townhouses and land packages.
The Minister also unveiled the project’s new name, The Amble Estate.
“The proposal submitted by Yolk/Ventura was most closely aligned to the Department of Communities’ vision and objectives for the project,” Tinley said.
“All dwellings for sale in The Amble Estate will be priced below the Perth median house price, with up to 65% below median prices for homes in Girrawheen.
“A number of dwellings will also be made available under the State Government’s shared equity initiative, making the purchase of a new home even more affordable for low to middle income earners,” he added. “About 11% of dwellings within the development will be retained for social housing. This unique infill project will deliver affordability, environmental sustainability, design quality, diversity and integration.”
Yolk Property Group director Tao Bourton said the company would build on their portfolio of delivering sustainable housing at urban infill projects, with the Evermore project at the former Kim Beazley school site in White Gum Valley an example of their focus on innovation and green development.
“Ventura Home Group is proud to be involved with projects such as The Amble Estate because it propels the strengths of the business in not only creating jobs, but also ensuring exceptional home solutions are accessible to the Perth community,” Ventura Home Group director Mark Di Masi said.
