New Beachside Housing Development Opportunity in Midwest WA: Proposals Welcome

The City of Greater Geraldton are excited to announce that expressions of interest are open for 165 Willcock Drive, Key Worker Housing Development Opportunity. The City is seeking a proponent to transform an 8.8ha stunning stretch of beachside land into a key worker housing development which delivers tangible community benefits.

This Expression of Interest (EOI) seeks to identify a suitable key worker housing proposal on 165 Willcock Drive, Mahomets Flats for future consideration by Council.

Lot 3142 (no. 165) Willcock Drive, Mahomets Flats has been selected for its suitability for key worker accommodation and its accessibility for potential residents. The site, which is approximately 8.8 ha, is ideally situated within proximity to the Geraldton CBD and the iconic white sandy beaches of Separation Point and Greys Beach and the iconic Point Moore Lighthouse. The site is easily accessible via the John Willcock Link and Willcock Drive.

The proposed site is located less than two kilometres from the City’s CBD and only 150 metres from the closest primary school. There are multiple high schools within 2km of the site, the TAFE is across the road, and parks and a shopping precinct are nearby, all connected with existing walking trails and shared paths. The site will be a highly desirable place to live especially for those seeking a simpler, more active outdoor lifestyle.

The site is currently unserviced and undeveloped. Truly a blank canvas, offering endless possibilities for a developer to bring their vision of a greater Greater Geraldton to life and create something exceptional for the future key workers of the Midwest.

The City‘s primary objective in undertaking this EOI process is to increase affordable housing supply for key workers within the City of Greater Geraldton. The City is therefore open to various housing design options and delivery models, with diversity encouraged.

Proponents submitting proposals in response to this EOI are required to fully fund the design, construction, and delivery of the proposed development. The proponent shall conduct its own thorough due diligence regarding all aspects of the project site.
