Following a successful registration of interest process earlier this year, nine State Government-owned landholdings are being released to the market for proposals that will deliver more social housing and increase housing choices for Western Australians.
Including a 2,000sqm site in the Busselton city centre and eight ideally-located sites across metropolitan Perth, the EOI calls on proponents to submit their solutions to create a future pipeline of new housing stock.
The largest of the metropolitan sites is just over 24,000sqm and is one of two development opportunities in Kelmscott, just a short walk from the train station. At just over 13,000sqm each, sites in East Perth and Redcliffe also benefit from close proximity to existing and new train stations.
The remaining four sites are located on Thomas Street in West Perth, and other locations in East Fremantle, Cannington and South Perth.
Proposals are sought for residential developments on one or more of the identified sites that optimise use of the land, incorporate social housing, provide sustainable and accessible housing, and contribute to the creation of liveable, inclusive and connected communities.
Project delivery methods may include long-term ground leases, partnership models, and design and construct models for either build-to-rent or build-to-sell housing. Respondents can propose their preferred model of housing development, which must include a minimum of 20 per cent in social housing dwellings delivered across the total development.
The Housing Diversity Pipeline is part of the McGowan Government's $2.4 billion, four-year investment in social housing and homelessness measures in WA, and includes the delivery of 3,300 new homes.
State Government land is being unlocked for release to market, creating a pipeline of housing developments to address the demand for social housing and meet the future housing demands of the WA community.
EOIs close at 5pm AWST, Tuesday, 25 October 2022. For application details and more information, visit www.wa.gov.au/hdp-eoi.
The Government plans to release further tranches to market in the near future.
