It will be located at 81-87A Allnutt Street, Mandurah and will comprise 50 self-contained apartments along with communal areas, on-site support services and commercial space.
Reflecting our commitment to quality stakeholder engagement, input has been sought from a range of stakeholders to inform the initial design and plan for the site.
Representatives from community housing and community service organisations, Aboriginal community controlled organisations and other Australian Common Ground sites have been actively engaged in the design process. Workshops and interviews were also held with people experiencing homelessness to ensure Mandurah Common Ground will meet the needs of its tenants.
