Released under the Market-led Proposals Policy, this opportunity aims to fast-track housing delivery by attracting experienced developers capable of delivering high-quality, well-connected homes and amenities for defence personnel, workers and the community.
This site has been identified as a strategic infill opportunity, located close to major employment and industry areas, including the Henderson Defence Precinct, Fleet Base West, the planned Western Trade Coast expansion and the future Westport Development.
Significant investment linked to the AUKUS program and defence industry expansion is expected to create around 10,000 direct jobs over the next 20 years, increasing demand for housing in the southern corridor and creating new opportunities for local businesses.
With population in the Rockingham area forecast to grow by around 52,000 people by 2036, the development opportunity is intended to help ensure housing supply keeps pace with this growth.
Experienced developers with the capability to deliver a coordinated, precinct‑wide development outcome are invited to submit proposals through TendersWA. Proponents should demonstrate the ability to deliver high quality, well connected homes and amenities in Rockingham, with a focus on meeting projected population demands; accelerating housing supply and identifying opportunities for social and affordable housing options.
