Amara Estate Builder Appointed
M/Group is pleased to announce that NVS Construction Pty Ltd has been appointed as builder for Amara Estate, marking the project’s move into the construction phase.
Founded in 2022 by Directors Brendon Bidwell and Russell Holmes, NVS Construction has built a reputation for quality across industrial, mining, residential and mixed-use projects, drawing on the Directors’ extensive industry experience. Their appointment follows the finalisation of the Building Contract and Civil Works package, and construction is set to commence in the coming months.
This milestone builds on strong momentum for Amara Estate. Since pre-sales launched, the project has attracted significant demand from essential workers and investors alike, with now 54 dwellings pre-sold and 37 dwellings contracted to the Government Regional Officer Housing (GROH) program. Full project funding remains secured through the Commonwealth Bank of Australia (CBA).
With a builder now in place, M/Group looks forward to delivering safe, affordable, climate-resilient homes for essential workers in the Kalgoorlie-Boulder region, and will continue to provide updates as construction progresses.

M/Group is pleased to present the Newman Regional Housing Fund – a strategic residential land development in the heart of the East Pilbara.
Located in Newman, one of Australia’s premier iron ore service centres, the development is positioned to meet chronic housing undersupply driven by long-term demand from mining operations. The project comprises 200 titled lots, secured from a Receiver/Manager at a significant discount to replacement cost.
The development will deliver 167 turn-key homes for owner-occupiers and investors, and remaining high-density lots to be sold separately on the open market. M/Group is partnering with NVS Construction and Jubilee Modular, both of whom bring significant experience delivering construction outcomes in regional Western Australia.
Housing supply in the region remains in critical shortage, with very limited new supply delivered over the past decade and demand is expected to continue.

Good Match for Apartment Investors
As Perth’s population continues to increase, an emerging culture of apartment dwellers are opting to avoid the urban sprawl and take up residence in well-located and lifestyle-centric environments that support the notion of building up rather than out.
While this market shift is spurring property buyers to secure a good apartment investment, one of Perth’s most respected boutique apartment developers says buyers should be discerning with their choices, as all apartments do not represent the same investment outcome.
Mr Lloyd Clark from M/Group, the parent company of boutique apartment developer Match, believes boutique and distinctive developments will always attract a premium.
“Well-located apartment projects comprising of 30-40 residences with an abundance of amenity at the doorstep will always have more appeal than large-scale ‘cookie-cutter’ environments. It is resonant of the new of owner-occupiers that include downsizers and young professional couples and don’t want to compromise their lifestyle by moving out to the large land estates in the ‘burbs’,” he said.
“These people want to live in signature spaces and developers such as Match have been actively stepping up in terms of design to ensure maximum appeal and enduring returns of investment.”
Match rose in prominence some 15 years ago by successfully undertaking a series of high profile heritage renewal projects and giving new life to some of Perth’s most beautiful and historic buildings.
The company is currently behind the restoration of the famous Dalgety Woolstores in Fremantle, named Heirloom, and has introduced a range of distinctively designed apartment projects to the market located in various locations around Perth’s suburbs.
“We have built our business on identifying strategic sites in well located environments and then designing signature properties that take cues from the environment and the market,” Mr Clark continues.
“We have introduced beautiful product in areas such as Mount Lawley, Guildford, Leederville, Fremantle, Como, Port Coogee and Subiaco with a view of enhancing the streetscape and contributing to the culture of the areas.”
Match works with some of the city’s most respected Architects and designers, including CCN Architects, David Barr Architects, Oldfield Knott Architects and award-winning Architect Geoffrey Warn of Donaldson & Warn Architects.
As a result of the company’s approach to design and development, its projects maintain a steady flow of enquiries through all market conditions.
“The market is most definitely in a state of divide; on one side there are a number of large-scale apartment projects, many of which are backed by first-time developers looking to maximise land availability and density opportunities. People are correct in being concerned about value proposition of these projects. Many of them will struggle to achieve the required pre sales and,
therefore, will not go ahead,” Mr Clark adds.
“Match sits on the other side of the fence. We have stayed true to our grass roots and focused on unique and well-located sites for boutique projects. Developments like ours will continue to attract strong buyer interest. Where large-scale projects are currently in limbo, we have commenced construction of a number of new apartment projects and in the process of releasing more.
