Read moreAmara Pre-Sales Officially Launched
Following much anticipation, M/Group is excited to announce that pre-sales for our latest residential landmark, Amara Estate, officially launched at the end of July 2025.
Amara Estate is a secure, gated community with shared green spaces and residence clubhouse. The primary goal of this project is to facilitate delivery of safe, affordable, climate-resilient homes in a secure, gated community for essential workers in this high priority regional location in the Kalgoorlie-Boulder area. The essential key workers include and aren’t limited to the following industries: childcare, education, emergency services, government employees, healthcare, and retail.
Currently, there are 40 dwellings pre-sold, and 36 dwelling contracted to be leased to the Government Regional Officer Housing (GROH) program. Demand for sales and leasing remains exceptionally strong, driven by Kalgoorlie’s current vacancy rate of less than 1%.
The project is set to move into the construction phase early next year. The Building Contract and Civil Works package has been finalised, and we have secured full project funding through the Commonwealth Bank of Australia (CBA).

Match Powers Up on New Fremantle Site
Following the success of the iconic “Heirloom” heritage renewal of the Fremantle Woolstores, boutique developer, Match, has acquired the former Fremantle Electricity Substation located at Parry Street Fremantle.
The 2800 sq. m heritage site incorporates an existing heritage building, which will be refurbished and reactivated. The site will also accommodate the development of 40 designer boutique apartments in the rear of the property.
The site was acquired on the back of a Match development fund that oversubscribed prior to its closing date. It follows a series of oversubscribed funds released by Match over the last 12- months.
Match Managing Director, Mr. Lloyd Clark, said the significant investor interest in the company’s development funds and continual sales activity of boutique apartments, suggests demand for boutique product remains unaffected by the perceived oversupply of apartments in Perth.
“There is little doubt that apartment supply figures are skewed due to large-scale project proposals, many of which are backed by first-time developers looking to maximize land availability and density opportunities,” he said.
“Based on our market knowledge, many of these will struggle to achieve the required pre sales for banking finance and ultimately won’t proceed. In contrast, Match continues to meet the banking requirements with the development of truly unique boutique product that represents a limited opportunity to buyers. The Fremantle Electricity Substation is a great example of this and early indicators suggest that product such as this will continue to be in demand.”
A proposed mix of one-bedroom and two-bedroom apartments is included in the plans for the site, and many of the apartments will have a northern aspect overlooking a public reserve.
The anticipated price range for one-bedroom apartments are from $475,000, and Match is currently looking to secure a food and beverage operator for the substation building to complement the development.
“A central food and beverage operation is a great proposition for this kind of development, and is in keeping with the energy planned for this precinct by the City of Fremantle,” Mr. Clark continued.
“Both the power substation and woolstore buildings will be restored to the finest quality, and the combined impact of the two heritage properties located in close proximity, will bring a great deal of character into the gateway of Fremantle.”
The project’s scheduled launch into the market is in mid-2015, with construction late 2015.
