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 Launches Newman Regional Housing Fund
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.

Amara 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).

West Australian ‘Apartment Living Feature’ Match Q&A
How important is the façade/the look of an apartment complex to buyers?
A persons’ home is their signature. It represents who they are and how they are perceived amongst peers and in the broader the community. We believe first impressions are incredibly important, and when potential property owners respond to a property’s façade it is hard for them to forget it.
Creating a compelling façade is about setting the scene for the rest of the environment. Match deliberately makes particularly strong and bold statements with its developments because we believe it adds depth to each project and the market responds extremely well to this approach.
How important (and why) is the design of the façade when putting together the design for an apartment development?
The process of design and development, particularly when addressing the exterior, is a responsibility as well as an opportunity. The building has the potential to create a legacy for the area and will impact the streetscape for decades to come.
Match takes its design cues from the surrounding environment and that of the potential lifestyles of our residents. One size definitely does not fit all and within our property portfolio you will invariably see a very different style of apartment in Leederville than that of Como, for instance.
How do you balance the amount of money spent on the façade verses apartment interiors and the eventual price point to buyers (such as M/24 or the restoration at Heirloom)?
It has never been the case that a well designed façade compromises the quality of the interior – quite the opposite. A stunning façade sets the tone and expectation for beautiful and complementary interiors. The combination adds value to the properties and increases capital potential.
It is important to note that good design doesn’t always mean additional expense and, in the case of our work on heritage renewals where the cost of restoring heritage fabric might be higher, the inherent value of securing a unique and limited piece of history that cannot be emulated or duplicated, is priceless. This inherent value is passed on through resale and will never date.
What are you trying to achieve with the look of your developments from the street? Are you doing anything innovative in this area?
Match was established on a mission to improve Perth streetscapes, which at the time were in grave danger of becoming dull and lifeless through extremely conservative developments. We believed that built form could really make a difference to an environment and bring the area alive. Our work in Mount Lawley in the early days is testament to this.
We have always taken a cutting edge approach to our developments and continue to work with some of the most country’s progressive architects to achieve a sense of street presence. Our apartments might not be for everyone, but those who respond to the design and the lifestyle it represents invariably never look back.
How does the façade impact future resale price?
Match’s focus is in the creation of boutique and iconic buildings within strategic locations. Our properties often demand attention and a limited supply of apartments means that, regardless of where we are on the property cycle, there will always be demand for this product.
Our work differs enormously from the ‘cookie-cutter’ apartment environments where it is difficult to discern one building from the other. We aim to create signature pieces, and people will always want to be associated with style.
Who should I attribute these comments to?
Mr Lloyd Clark, Managing Director M/Group, parent company of Match.
